Self Care Station
Student Health offers a Self Care Station in the waiting room, which is stocked with common over-the-counter medications and supplies. The Self Care Station is designed to aid students in managing basic symptoms and health education, not to dissuade students from being examined by one of our nurse practitioners.
Students who remain ill after two days of self-care, or those with worsening symptoms, are encouraged to call 215-951-2986 for an appointment to be evaluated, or to seek medical attention from a nearby healthcare professional.
Students may access Self Care materials and supplies on weekdays from 8 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. - 4 p.m.
