Health and Wellness Services
Health Service
Good health is essential for academic success. Fisher supports the health and wellness of each student by providing accessible health care for all students, programs to promote healthy choices, and resources to enhance the overall wellness of the Fisher College Community.
The Health Services Office provides assessment, treatment, or referral for illness or accidents that occur within the Fisher Community. The goal of the Health Services Office is to teach students to become increasingly self-reliant and able to make sound judgments about taking care of themselves. While in-house services are free, the student is financially responsible for all referred service.
