Get Basic Health Services On Campus
Our Health Services emphasize health education, prevention and early intervention to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment. Health Services is a student resource; it is not a substitute for your family medical provider nor an alternative to health insurance.
Please schedule an appointment with our office to allow us to schedule enough time for your evaluation and treatment by the nurse practitioners. If you are more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, you will need to reschedule.
We are following California health guidelines, and those from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Sierra College offers COVID-19 testing for students in the Health Centers on the Rocklin and Nevada County Campuses.
