Health Services

At Post University we are serious about our students' health. Our Health Services office is staffed by two registered nurses and the University physician is available on a weekly basis.
Our medical staff is here to provide students with access to:

  • Onsite medical care
  • Education and information related to health and wellness
  • Access to information on other health specialists and facilities near campus

Students wishing to make individual appointments with our physician should do so through the Health Services Office.
