In addition to supporting the operation of the Campus Health Center, the fee is used to promote many health and wellness programs conducted for the benefit of students.

The Campus Health Center Fee cannot be waived.

RUMOR has it . . . And it's NOT true
Brockport does NOT have the highest rates of STD’s of any college, anywhere!
Let's just deal with the facts: Center for Disease Control STD Facts.
Any student planning to participate in Intercollegiate Athletics is required to have a pre-entrance physical within 6 months of entering The College at Brockport.
For all other students, a pre-entrance physical is not required, but is highly recommended. This along with your medical history is important so that we can provide the best possible health care for you.

There are three sections:
NOTE: Pre-entrance physicals CANNOT be done at The College at Brockport Student Health Center. If you don't have a primary care physician, we can refer you to one locally. Remember, it can take several weeks to get an appointment, so plan ahead.
No! However, many students will need a physical for employment, travel or ROTC. These can be done at the Student Health Center at no extra charge.
Intercollegiate athletes are required to have a pre-entrance physical within 6 months of entering The College at Brockport, then complete a written health assessment each year they continue their sport. The initial pre-entrance physical is good for 5 years.
The preferred option is to continue with your allergist or current doctor. If you are a distance from home and that option is not feasible for you, a local allergist Dr. Scott Valet will be able to provide this service for you. His office is located in Brockport, 18 Graves Street, near Lakeside Hospital, within a mile of campus.
You will need to contact Dr. Valet at 585-637-3910 to arrange a visit before you receive injections. He will review your doctor’s treatment recommendations and your current injection schedule. Please bring copies of your last doctor’s exam, serum and instruction sheets. Dr. Valet’s staff will work with your insurance issues as well as arranging appointment times for your injections. Your usual copay for office visits will apply.
Please be sure you schedule your initial appointment with Dr. Valet BEFORE your shots are needed to ensure that you continue to receive timely injections.
When the Student Health and Counseling Centers are closed, we have contracted with a nurse advice line, FONEMED to answer medical questions and concerns. Registered nurses with FONEMED are available to talk with students to help them determine whether they should:
FONEMED is intended for medical advice only. Please note that they are NOT located on-campus and do not have access to your personal medical record. Therefore, they cannot tell you your immunization compliance, call in prescriptions or provide your lab or x-ray results.
After regular office hours, Brockport students can contact FONEMED by calling the Student Health Center at (585) 395-2414 and follow the instructions to connect with FONEMED.
A summary of each call will be faxed to the Student Health Center to ensure proper follow up care.
A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced academic and clinical experience, which enables him or her to:
Diagnose and manage most common and chronic illnesses, either independently or as part of a health care team.
Take medical histories and perform physical examinations.
Prescribe medications, order laboratory/diagnostic tests.
Work in collaboration with a physician.
NP practice focuses on:
Health maintenance.
Disease prevention.
Counseling and patient education.
With a strong emphasis on primary care, nurse practitioners are employed with a wide variety of specialties.
Most are educated through programs that grant a master's degree. An intensive preceptorship under the direct supervision of a physician or an experienced nurse practitioner, as well as expanded education in physical assessment, pathophysiology, pharmacology and social theory are key components to most NP programs.
