Hours and Services

The Health Service does not manage any chronic (long-term) or complex health conditions. Students who are under the care of a provider or specialist for their chronic condition should make arrangements prior to coming to campus as to how that condition will be managed while at Drew. This includes prescriptions for medications or other treatments. In some cases, students may have to establish care with a local provider for continued care. Health Service staff may, on a case-by-case basis, provide certain services such as lab collection or medication administration in collaboration with your provider. If a chronic or ongoing condition arises while at Drew, a referral to an outside provider will be made.
