City College's
Student Health Services Mission is
to provide medical and
psychological
care, services and education in a culturally competent
manner to enhance student's ability to both advocate and care for
themselves in order to advance their health and that of the campus
community. Student Health Services' mission is in concert with City
College's mission in assisting the student to maintain wellness, stay
in school and complete educational goals. The City College Student
Health Services program consists of both medical and mental health
components. The medical/nursing program provides preventive and
primary health care with referrals to community resources as needed.
Student Health supports the success of students by attending to their
physical and emotional well-being through the following services:
Nursing Assessment & Management:
A registered nurse works with you to determine the best course of
care. This may include an appointment with the physician, nurse
practitioner or referral to community resources. It may include
nursing care, education or health counseling.
Laboratory Services:
Laboratory tests are provided at low cost, as ordered by the physician
or nurse practitioner.
First Aid/Emergency Care:
First aid is provided for minor problems. For severe or
life-threatening issues, emergency care is accessed through the
Emergency Transport System in San Diego.
General Medical Care:
Ambulatory medical care is provided by appointment with the Student

insurance should first seek treatment and payment from the provider or
insurance company. All student claims are made through the Student
Health Services office as soon as possible after the accident/injury
