Health and Wellness Clinic

To meet the needs of the St. Kate’s community during this pandemic, the Health and Wellness Clinic providers are primarily focused on COVID testing and vaccinations. We will continue to see all mental health appointments virtually through Google Meet. Online scheduling is available in the patient portal for mental health appointments only. Please see the COVID section below for information on COVID testing and COVID visits.

At peak times we experience high call volume, we appreciate your patience during these times. Please leave us a message when calling and any message left during business hours will be returned the same day.

At this time we would like to remind our community that the most important thing we can do for ourselves and the health of our community is to limit contact with others, wash our hands, and stay home if we are not well.

COVID-19

Should I get tested for COVID 19?

Health and Wellness Clinic Testing

COVID-19 saliva PCR tests are available on campus for faculty, staff, and students. We encourage anyone concerned about COVID-19 to get tested, especially those who are:

  • Symptomatic
  • Identified as a close contact per the MDH guidelines
  • Required to be tested for participation in athletics, clinicals, etc.
  • Returning from travel (domestic or international) 

Sign up for testing at the Health and Wellness Clinic

When you arrive for your test:

  • Wear your mask until you begin the test.
  • Bring your smartphone and health insurance card with you to register for the test.
  • Do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes prior to testing.
  • Results will be sent directly to you via email once they have been processed.

Other Locations for Testing

Most clinics and hospitals across the state have the ability to collect samples (specimens) for lab testing. See Find Testing Locations for a map of Minnesota's ongoing testing locations.

Call ahead before going to the clinic or hospital to be tested. Not all clinics test people who do not have symptoms.

MDH works in partnership with communities to provide safe and free on-site COVID-19 testing in areas with outbreaks, increasing cases, or other barriers to access existing test sites. See COVID-19 Community Testing for locations and dates for new community testing sites.

Patients can schedule an appointment by calling the clinic at 651-690-6714, or online via the patient portal (for mental health and immunization appointments only).

To Do Prior to Appointment

Patients will need to complete all pending paperwork (access these via patient portal). It is the responsibility of the patient to determine if their health insurance will cover their visit at the Health and Wellness Clinic prior to their appointment. All charges that are not covered (patient responsibility) will be billed to their student account.

Check-In

The clinic doors will remain locked at all times. When arriving at the clinic for your appointment, please use the intercom system to contact the front desk. If the intercom system is not available, please call the clinic and a staff member will let you into the clinic. Please arrive at your scheduled appointment time to complete the check in process.

Canceling

If you are unable to keep an appointment, we ask that you cancel it as soon as possible. You can cancel appointments through the patient portal, via email (healthwellness@stkate.edu), or you can call the clinic directly to cancel.

Mental Health

We have a psychiatry specialist at the clinic on Wednesdays. Please call to schedule your appointment. We will bill your insurance for all psychiatry appointments.

  • The clinic provides mental health care for students with a variety of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.
  • The clinic staff can also assist students to manage an existing diagnosis of ADD/ADHD. It is required that students submit, prior to the appointment, medical documentation that includes a diagnosis of ADD/ADHD before medications will be prescribed.

Medications/Prescriptions

The clinic has a limited stock of low cost, commonly prescribed medications. These medications are not billed through insurance, they are billed directly to the patient’s student account. A provider must be seen before obtaining a prescription. If you need a prescription medication that is not available in the clinic, or you would like to use your health insurance to cover some of the cost, your provider can send prescriptions to be filled at an outside pharmacy of your choice.
