Health Services

Our professional staff is here to help you in the event of illness or other health-related concerns. We are committed to promoting the physical and mental well-being of all Penn State Hazleton students through health education, preventive health strategies and, most of all, quality health care. 

New location

Please note that in order to align with guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and American College Health Association, the Health Center has moved from the Physical Education Building to 704 West Hall.

Confidentiality

All medical records are strictly confidential and are seen only by the Health Services staff who have a need to see them in order to provide care. All health care personnel adhere to established ethical principles and codes of professional practice including patient confidentiality, privacy, dignity and informed consent. Although this high degree of confidentiality is often a concern to parents seeking information, medical information is released only with the student's written consent, or by court-appointed subpoena.
