Student Health Center
The Student Health Center, located in LoGrasso Hall, provides currently enrolled Fredonia students with confidential primary care of acute illness and injury, health education, allergy injections, immunizations, preventative health and laboratory services. Most services provided in the Student Health Center are provided without any additional charge to the student as they are funded by the mandatory health fee paid each semester. Maintenance allergy injections, vaccinations, and PPD tests are provided for an additional charge to the student on their FRED card.
The Student Health Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.during the academic year. The medical staff includes a board certified physician, nurse practitioners and registered nurses. When necessary, referrals can be made to private physicians or specialists in the local area. For more information regarding the Student Health Center services and staff, please visit the center's website at http://www.fredonia.edu/healthcenter.
