While many Pace students are aware that the university has a health center, very few seem to realize where it is located and exactly how it can be utilized to benefit them.

The University Health Center (UHC) is located on the bottom floor of the Goldstein Athletics Building. The hours of operation are Mon., Wed., and Thurs.: 9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Tues. and Fri.: 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
The UHC is staffed by all certified Nurse Practitioners (NPs).  Many are family nurse practitioners, and some specialize in other areas, including women’s obstetric-gynecologic health, adult health, family health, pediatric/child health, and school/college health.
The NPs of the UHC can aid student’s health needs for anything from the common cold to more serious illnesses like bronchitis. Some of the many services they provide include but are not limited to: pap smears, pregnancy tests, family planning, emergency contraception, prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases for both men and women, complete physicals, immunizations, tetanus shots, or even removal of stitches.
Students without the Pace insurance plan are still able to to receive care at the UHC as it is open to any member of the University student, faculty, staff, or alumni population.  Even family members of all the above categories and the local community are eligible.
If planning to visit the UHC, members of the Pace community should be aware of his or her health history including the medications that he or she takes on a regular, day-to-day basis, any possible and any medical conditions.
A common question among students visiting the UHC is in regard to what the health insurance plan actually covers. With Pace UHC insurance, members are covered for any UHC office visit co-pays for sickness and accident visits; wellness visits, preventive services, diagnostic tests and procedures may incur additional charges. Fortunately, the UHC is able to bill your insurance directly.
Members of the Pace community interested in seeking a more comprehensive view of the health insurance offered can always visit www.pace.edu/healthinsurance for more information.  The office is also available for questions at (914) 773-3760.
Come stop by the Health Center for any of your medical needs, concerns, or simply to say hello.
