Winthrop University's Health Services is an appointment-based clinic, offering episodic urgent and primary care services. Office visits with registered nurses and nurse practitioners are offered to all eligible students at no charge. Other services like minor office procedures, testing, specimen collection, medication administration, etc. will incur a minimal fee, billed directly to the student's account as "Health Services."
A list of current prices can be found here (pdf - 170K). This price list is updated each year.
Health Services offers most routine diagnostic laboratory tests either onsite or in partnership with the South Carolina Public Health Laboratory and LabCorp. Tests ordered by an outside provider may be obtained on site and sent to an outside lab for a minimal fee.
Students can speak with a healthcare professional about issues related to sexual health,
contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and undergo confidential testing in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Confidential test results and your conversation with your provider will become part
of your medical record, which is subject to HIPPA privacy standards, and will remain
on file only within Health Services. This information cannot be shared with anyone,
including your family, friends, or faculty or staff at Winthrop unless you sign the
Authorization for Disclosure of Protected Health Information Form (pdf - 29.98 KB).
The Winthrop Travel Clinic is a service offered to those who plan to either travel or study abroad. A pre-travel
appointment is scheduled to determine your healthcare needs, information about disease
risks, as well as health information for your specific destination. Preventive medications
and vaccinations are given as needed. Call 803/323-2206 for more information or to
set up an appointment.
