The Student Health Center’s mission is to support the academic and personal success of all Texas State students by providing high-quality health and wellness services.

  • Organizational decisions will be based on what is in the best interest of our students. Conflicts of interest that deter us from acting in the best interest of our students, or otherwise interfere with the ethical delivery of services, will not be acceptable.

    Compassionate care in a supportive, welcoming and non-judgmental environment will be provided to all students and others seeking care.

    Only professional medical staff who are appropriately trained and licensed will be allowed to provide patient care. All staff will ensure they are providing the best possible service by adhering to the most current standards of care, utilizing professional best practices and expanding their knowledge through continuous education.

    Patients will be informed of all appropriate options for addressing their health care needs and the consequences of not pursuing treatment. Health care decision-making will be a shared responsibility between patient and health care provider, and shall be based on mutual respect and informed consent.

    Personal health information will be safeguarded using all reasonable measures available and in compliance with applicable state and federal laws. Personal health information will not be released without the prior written consent of the patient, unless required by law or necessary due to an emergency.
