My child is on daily medications. Can a SCC provider oversee this type of maintenance?

Yes, our providers are board certified in internal medicine. The SCC is a full service healthcare center.

My child is on medications that require frequent blood tests. How do we get this done while away on campus?

Your child should make an appointment to see a SCC provider. Our providers will document the condition and follow through with the appropriate care needed.

My daughter started the HPV series. Can she complete it at the SCC instead of returning to her doctor at home?

Yes, the HPV vaccine is available at the SCC. A Nurse Visit appointment is required and documentation of any previous doses received. Remember that all vaccines are available at the SCC including those required for travel.

Can my child receive allergy injections at your office?

We perform allergy injections in our office. We ask that the student make an appointment to see a provider first. The provider will give our nursing staff the clearance to administer the injections as ordered by the allergist.

If my child is sick, how does he/she get seen right away?

First, your child should call the office to make an appointment. In most cases, there are same day appointments available, but during large volume times a nurse will evaluate and determine appropriate appointment scheduling.

Where should my child call when your office is closed?

The Nurse Advice Line (773) 702-1915 provides information on medical questions or concerns or urgent/emergency situations after SCC business hours. The Nurse Advice Line will advise students of the appropriate medical action to take. If necessary, the nurse can contact a SCC physician-on-call.
