Health and Wellness Clinic

The Health and Wellness Clinic will be open to see scheduled patients in the clinic. We will continue to see all mental health appointments virtually through google meet. Patients can call the clinic to schedule an appointment at 651-690-6714. Online scheduling is available in the patient portal for flu shots and for mental health follow up appointments only.

The Health and Wellness Clinic will be open from 9:30-12 for women's health and mental health appointments. The clinic will be closed from 12-1 each weekday for sanitization. The clinic will  re-open from 1-4 for COVID testing and sick appointments.

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 Testing — The Health and Wellness Clinic is following MDH guidelines and will offer testing for symptomatic patients, and for asymptomatic patients who have been identified by MDH as close contacts of someone who has tested positive for COVID 19.  A close contact is defined as someone who has been within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes of someone who has tested positive for COVID 19, regardless of if masks were worn. The Clinic will be offering PCR testing for COVID, but we do not have any rapid testing options at this time.

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.

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.
