Your Health Center
The goal of the PLU Student Health Center is to provide quality medical care in a supportive and confidential environment, and to educate and empower students to make healthy life choices.
All PLU students are eligible for our services.
Fall is here and the PLU Student Health Center is busy assisting International and First Year Students with health histories and immunizations.
Any student can be seen for the following:
- illness
- physical exams
- birth control needs
- emotional health
Insurance questions can seem complex, but our staff can assist. Call to find out when you can be seen. More about insurance.
Flu at PLU
PLU has been designated as a high priority to receive the H1N1 immunization when available. We expect the H1N1 vaccine to be ready after mid-October. Check out the PLU pandemic website, updated when necessary with the most recent information available at www.plu.edu/flu.
Information about pain relief medications
Don't take aspirin for fever. Use ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Alleve) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead to prevent Reye's Syndrome. Reye's Syndrome, a deadly disease, strikes swiftly and can attack any child, teen, or adult without warning. All body organs are affected, with the liver and brain suffering most seriously.
