Student Health Center
The Student Health Center (SHC) is a weekday clinic for UMW students, serving only undergraduates. It handles routine and acute healthcare, not emergencies, and lacks comprehensive services like long-term disease management or hospital care. As a nonprofit, it doesn’t offer costly X-ray or lab services and doesn’t work with insurance plans, so it cannot process medication or specialist pre-authorizations.
