Healthcare

The Student Health Center follows the Guidelines for Care of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender students as established by the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association.

Center staff members provide a safe, comfortable, supportive and confidential environment for students, with a focus on providing information and services suited to each student’s needs without unrelated probing.

The basic visit form enables students to provide their chosen name.

Information about local and regional medical and support resources for gender variant patients is available, as is good information about what relevant services are covered by the student insurance plan. There are also educational materials for men who have sex with other men and for women who have sex with other women. The center also has some periodicals in the waiting room geared to lgbtqai+ readers.

Student insurance coverage is available to some services related to gender expression or confirmation. Hormone treatment is covered under the student health plan. Related surgical treatment is not covered.
