SHWC Funding and Fees
The Student Health & Wellness Center is required to be a self-supporting entity. Revenue generated must cover all costs. The SHWC covers costs via the student health fee, internal fees for services (such as lab, some procedures and speciality services, etc.), and from participation in the Family Planning Expansion Project.
Recognizing the economic realities of the students it serves, the SHWC is committed to keeping the cost of care as affordable as possible. Internal fees charged to student accounts are intentionally set to be one of the most affordable options in the area. In an effort to keep increases to the per-term health fee as low as possible in 2009-2010, a $5.00 visit co-pay (no more than 1 per day) has been implemented. Please e-mail inquiries to Jamie Patterson at pattersj@sou.edu.
