Student Health Care Improves
At University of Florida, the Student Health Care Center is a min-hospital offering a wide range of services from a pharmacy to x-rays to massage therapy.
Registered nurse and licensed massage therapist Ann Moore gives a massage to University of Florida doctoral student Belkys Bracho at UF's Student Health Care Center at Corry Village, one of two satellite campus clinics.
Student health centers are providing care that students 30 years ago could only dream about - everything from pharmacies and substance abuse counseling to cut rates for X-rays. Campus clinics still focus on outpatient care, but they have moved far beyond the basics: At the University of California-Berkeley, there's a breastfeeding support program; at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a top-notch sports medicine clinic.
And all either free or at prices far below what can be found off campus.
