The University Health Center staff partners with students to empower them to make informed choices by providing a holistic approach to student health, education, wellness and outreach services in a confidential, inclusive, and respectful environment.
The medical clinic is staffed by qualified healthcare professionals who administer care in a confidential and professional manner. Five doctors with a combined 132 years of practicing experience, and five nurse practitioners and a physician assistant with 73 combined years of practicing experience, specialize in the healthcare of JMU students - and only JMU students. Plus, a dermatology physician assistant, a gastroenterology nurse practitioner, and a registered dietitian are on staff.
All students must:
- Enter immunization dates, insurance information, and a brief medical history into the UHC's online portal, MyJMUHealth, by August 1
- Submit (faxes not accepted) a completed immunization form, signed by a healthcare provider, to the University Health Center (MSC 7901, Harrisonburg VA 22807) by August 1
- Complete part one of the online alcohol prevention program, AlcoholEdu, between July 25 and August 17
During the school year the UHC is open 8-5 Monday-Friday (9-5 Thursdays) and 8-noon on Saturdays.
The UHC is located on the fourth and fifth floors of Montpelier Hall, 235 Cantrell Ave, 22807. In 2014, the UHC moves next door to the Student Success Center being built at Grace and Mason.
Call 540-568-6178 for an appointment or to have a triage nurse call you back about a health question.
The Health Center currently does not accept any insurance as a form of payment, however we are a participating provider for the Student Health Insurance Plan. If there is a charge for any service rendered, the student is responsible for payment at the time of service.
We encourage you to speak with your physician or nurse about any issues and concerns you may have about the service and the care you receive. The Patient Advocate's office also is available to address concerns or answer questions at 540-568-7777 or healthctr@jmu.edu.
