Health Services

Physical health and health maintenance is vital for student success. Our goals are to empower students to take responsibility for their health and to provide accessible services that complement the academic mission. Nurse practitioners (ARNP) with prescriptive authority provide assessment, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and management of general health problems. In collaboration with the Student Counseling Center the nurse practitioners and the psychiatrist coordinate medication evaluations and treatment for mental health concerns. Referrals to specialists are provided when medically indicated.

Health Services is located in Watson Hall on the first floor and is handicap accessible from the pedestrian walkway ramp. To schedule an appointment, please contact Health Services at 206-281-2231 or visit www.spu.edu/depts/healthservices for more information.
