Dear Students,The staff of Student Health Services would like to welcome you for the 2006-2007 school year. Here are some Student Health Services highlights for the 2006-2007 school year:
In Spring 2006, Angela Martin, Nurse Practitioner joined our staff, expanding clinician hours. Many of you met her on days that you were not feeling well, though we invite any students with chronic conditions (such as asthma and diabetes) to make an appointment with her to discuss your health condition, answer questions you may have and make sure the appropriate health plan is in place.
In addition to offering convenient urgent health care services on campus for students, we have many health related events and activities planned for this year. These include a UB Health Fair and Healthy Eating Week Activities (in collaboration with Student Programming and Counseling Services), Blood Pressure Screenings, Diabetes Screenings, Sickle Cell Trait Screenings, free Hepatitis B Vaccinations, HIV Testing, Sexually Transmitted Disease Screenings, interesting Health Education Programs and much more. Please watch for e-mail notifications and signage on campus for these events.
Many UB students are either required or have signed up for the Student Health Insurance. Please be advised that when insurance cards are available, an announcement on how and where you should pick up your cards will be made through campus e-mail.
This year, Student Health Services would like to place special emphasis on infection control education and flu prevention. Watch for our flu vaccine clinic during the flu season and remember that proper hand washing is the best way to prevent the spread of infection.
We hope that you have a healthy and happy educational experience this year!
Sincerely,
Melissa H. Lopez, Director of Student Health Services
