Services Provided

Nurse Appointments

A registered nurse is on site and available on a walk-in basis Monday–Friday. No appointment is necessary to see a nurse. We operate on a first-come-first-served basis. 

Doctor Appointments

The physician is here each Monday from 2–4 p.m. and requires an appointment. Stop in or call 651-631-5246 to make your appointment. Our physician's assistant (PA) is here one day each week. Please refer to the sign outside of our door for available hours. Appointments are also required for the PA.

Who We Serve

Our services are primarily for traditional day school students. However, we can assist staff and faculty with minor first-aid care, over-the counter medications or blood pressure checks. Our goal is to help you through your work day until you can make an appointment with your own personal physician.

We also assist in on-campus medical emergencies when notified, providing support until the paramedics arrive.
