Faculty and staff can visit the Faculty/Staff Acute Care Clinic for minor and acute medical issues only. Appointments are required for the clinic.

The clinic is located in the Student Wellness Center within the Steve Clark YMCA. Most appointments are $30 to $50 for an office visit evaluation by a Student Health Services medical provider, dependent on insurance. The office visit cost does not include the costs for laboratory services, medications or radiology services. Call 316-978-4792 to schedule an appointment. Accidents or injuries while on the job are not eligible for appointments and instead are considered Workers Compensation, call Human Resources for guidance.

Co-pays or deductibles are the employee’s responsibility and depend on personal health insurance benefits.
