Care when you need it

Office Hours & Location

We are open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.  We have an abbreviated summer schedule. The Health Center is located at the northeast corner of campus at the intersection of 121st and Park Avenue.  You can find us on the campus map. Care at the Health Center is available to any student at PLU. It does not matter if you are enrolled in the PLU health insurance plan or are covered by a private plan.

To schedule and appointment

Call us at 253-535-7337 or send an email to health@plu.edu.

When you make an appointment, tell us what your needs and concerns are so we can schedule appropriately.  If you don't want to say the reason for your visit, you are welcome to say "it's personal".  If you prefer to see a male or female provider, please let us know when you call or send us an email requesting an appointment.

Appointments

If you would like to see us the same day, or if you would like to see a specific provider, we urge you to contact us as early as possible in the day to schedule your appointment.  We will make every effort to accommodate walk-ins, but appointments ensure limited wait time and adequate time for your appointment.

Physical examinations, gynecological exams, checkup, and travel consultations

These visits always require an appointment.  Please bring any special forms you need completed with you. 

Making the Most of Your Appointment

• Think about your concerns.

  Tell the provider when the problem began, how it has progressed, and what changes have occurred. If you have a concern you think is silly or irrational don’t be afraid to voice it.

• Be prepared to answer questions.

  We ask you about your health history, medications, allergies and habits. We routinely ask women about their menstrual periods and if they may be pregnant to ensure that any medical care will not cause any unexpected risks.

• Ask questions freely.

  Ask about everything including your diagnosis, when to expect improvement, treatment options, lab tests, side effects from medications, follow-up care or any other concerns. If you feel you have not been heard, say so.

• Use your voice.

  You are welcome to bring along someone to provide moral support, but remember that we want to hear from you what your concerns and thoughts are, so supporters need to be relatively silent.
