Student Health Services at Francis Marion University exists to help meet the health care needs of FMU students. Students who are ill or injured may seek the assistance of the nurse practitioner. There is no fee for an office visit. Students are sometimes referred to a local physician for conditions that need x-rays, extensive testing, or a consultation. The student is responsible for doctor's fees as well as any related lab work or x-rays which may be necessary.

In addition to responding to the needs of ill or injured students the nurse practitioner helps students maintain wellness by assisting them to take responsibility for their health. Pamphlets are available to students. The nurse practitioner is available to discuss individual wellness concerns as the need arises.  Student Health Services also works closely with the FMU Counseling Center to meet the needs of  patients. Please call 661-1844 to make an appointment.
