We strive to provide quality, compassionate care to all students. We encourage you to talk to your healthcare provider about your sexual identity, gender identity and sexual behavior. In order to provide you with the best and most appropriate care, providers must be fully informed. Your care and any information disclosed to your provider is strictly confidential (learn more by clicking here). Respect for diversity is expected of all providers at Student Health, and staff participate in ongoing diversity training.
