Health
Services
Health Services is committed to promoting the health
and well being of Alverno College students, staff and faculty. We
offer a variety of services to assist individuals to engage in healing
that promote, maintain and restore the integrity of the mind, body
and spirit.
Confidentiality
All medical records and client visits are confidential. No one can have access to patient records without written permission of the individual. Confidentiality is broken only in cases where a client is likely to harm herself, or someone else, or where the welfare of the college is in jeopardy.

Student
Health Insurance
Counseling & Health Services strongly recommends
that you have adequate health insurance coverage. If you
are currently uninsured, you can find out more about the student
health insurance plan, offered by United Healthcare-Student Resources, by picking up a brochure outside of our office,
or by going on-line to www.uhcsr.com. Go to "College Students" and then find
Alverno College on the pull-down menu.
If you will be living on campus, we strongly suggest
that you bring your insurance card, or a copy of it, when you
move in. Talk
with your parents about how to use your insurance card, any applicable
co-pays/fees for services, and how to make an appointment with
your doctor. If you are from outside of the Milwaukee area
you should understand which Milwaukee providers are covered by
your insurance plan. There are two hospitals and several
urgent care facilities that are either on a bus route or can be
reached by taxi.
Note: In case of an life-threatening emergency
on campus, call 9-911; then contact Security at x6341
