Mission Statement
The Cowell Center is the comprehensive health care provider for the Santa Clara University student community. We are committed to caring for the whole person by providing professional medical and psychological services through compassionate treatment and education.
The Student Health Center is staffed by medical professionals who are sensitive to the special needs of students. The campus physician, nurse practitioner, and physician assistants see students by appointment and will see walk-in students with urgent needs.
The mission of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is to support students and student learning by providing counseling services to students as well as consultation and outreach programs to the campus community.
The student health insurance plan is provided by Aetna PPO. Santa Clara has a mandatory health insurance requirement for all students except graduate students who are domestic and international on visas other than F1.
Overseen by the Cowell Center, Santa Clara University Emergency Medical Services (SCU EMS) is the team of student emergency medical technicians (EMTs) that provide after-hours emergency response and care.
