Purdue Student Health Services
The Purdue University Student Health Center (PUSH) provides medical care through a high-quality outpatient facility staffed by licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, and mental health professionals
Services include:
- General medical clinic
- Sports medicine
- Women’s clinic
- Urgent care
- Allergy and immunization
- Physical therapy
- Counseling and psychological services
- Student wellness office
- Laboratory
- Radiology
Office visits to the medical clinic are free to all full-time students. Other services, such as urgent care, laboratory tests, x-rays, physical therapy, and ongoing mental health visits, are available on a fee-for-service basis.
Students must submit a medical history form by the first day of classes. This form documents proof of state-required immunizations. The form may be downloaded on the Student Health Center website and faxed or mailed to the address listed on the form.
The University strongly recommends that each student be covered by health insurance; parents are encouraged to contact their insurance providers before their student arrives on campus. Please note that PUSH is considered “out of network,” and it would be cost-effective to determine if coverage is available prior to charges being incurred. International students are required to have health insurance.
Purdue’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is a free service for Purdue students that provides up to eight confidential counseling sessions per semester (fall and winter).
