Outreach College students are eligible to use the on-campus health service, University Health Services Manoa (UHSM). Please go to the health service website or call (contact information above) if you have questions about health clearance or eligibility to receive services.
Located on East-West Road next to Kennedy Theater, UHSM offers general medical services on a walk-in basis and specialty services by appointment. A pharmacy is available for prescription and non-prescription medications. See the health service website for information on services, including specific specialty clinics and health education programs.
You are not required to have insurance to use the clinics, although all students are strongly advised to obtain health insurance coverage. The clinics accept most non-HMO plans; the student is responsible for co-payments or charges not covered by insurance. Students in Outreach College programs that do not require a health fee will be charged the standard fees for medical services. Regular Summer term students who pay the student health fee ($10 per session in 2009) are entitled to discounted service fees.
Please note the following:
- Students who are under 18 are required to have a signed "parental consent" before services can be provided.
- If you have special health needs, bring a letter from your personal physician explaining the nature of the problem and recommending appropriate treatment. Special treatments such as ongoing allergy injections are not administered unless specific written instructions have been provided by the prescribing physician.
- International students coming from abroad must complete a tuberculosis test in the U.S. UHSM provides skin tests and vaccinations.
- For immediate emergency care on campus, call Campus Security at 6-6911. For off-campus emergencies, call 911.
