disorders, an acute care/urgent clinic, and a sports medicine clinic.
In addition, students can phone their individual medical teams and
talk with a registered nurse to discuss medical concerns and
questions.
Office visits with SHCC primary-care providers are provided at no
additional cost. Charges are assessed for laboratory tests, X-rays,
medical procedures, medications, physical therapy, massage
therapy, or consultation with health care specialists.
Comprehensive services are offered at our main location on Fletcher
Drive, on campus. Limited SHCC services also are available at our
other locations: SHCC@Shands and SHCC@Corry Village (the Corry
Village location currently offers massage therapy only).

HIV infection: The University's policy is to assess the needs of
students, faculty or staff with HIV infection on a case-by-case basis.
With permission of the affected individual, the director of the
Student Health Care Center will help coordinate resources and
services. The confidentiality of an individual's HIV status, and the
individual's welfare, is respected. Breach of confidentiality of
information obtained by a University employee in an official
University capacity may result in disciplinary action.
Based on current medical information on risk of infection, the
University does not isolate persons with HIV infection or AIDS from
other individuals in the education or work setting. Furthermore, the
University supports the continued participation, to the fullest extent
reasonably possible, of these individuals in the campus
educational/work environment. It is also the policy of the University
to provide education that seeks to prevent the spread of HIV
infection. Those individuals at risk for HIV infection are encouraged
to get tested; those who are infected are urged to seek treatment.
With current advances in HIV/AIDS treatment, early intervention is
crucial to maintaining well being and delaying complications of the
illness. In keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the
University considers HIV/AIDS to be a disability. Students or
employees who are disabled with HIV infection or AIDS can use
existing support services.
