THE BRYANT STUDENT HEALTH CENTER BUILDING IS ONE OF THOSE AT THE
FOREFRONT OF PITTSBURG STATE UNIVERSITY, LOCATED ALONGSIDE RUSS HALL
ON SOUTH BROADWAY STREET. HERE, STUDENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH MEDICAL
CARE THAT IS LOCAL AND FINANCIALLY HELPFUL TO THEM. THE CENTER OFFERS
STUDENTS A VARIETY OF MEDICAL SERVICES FOR BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL
HEALTH..
(“Outpatient services, specialty services, physical exams, women's health, allergy and
immunology, mental health services, labs, pharmacy, and we have evaluation and referrals”)
THEY HELP TO MAKE THIS SMOOTH AND EASY FOR STUDENTS,
(“We’re local, it’s right here on campus, easy to get into, you can make an appointment online”)
THE STUDENT HEALTH CENTER PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE SPECIFICALLY TAILORED
TOWARD THE STUDENT DEMOGRAPHIC, HELPING THEM IN THEIR NEWFOUND
INDEPENDENCE.
(“What we offer here is important because having someone specifically trained to prescribe and
provide mental health care is a good thing for this population, because the need is so large.
Otherwise, medical wise of course, we need people to be able to see them for coughs, colds,
things like that, because they’re not with their parents anymore, so they’re always not sure what
to do, so being able to come here and us help them is our main focus.”)
THE STUDENT HEALTH CENTER IS OPEN FROM 8 A.M. TO 4 P.M., MONDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. APPOINTMENTS CAN BE MADE ONLINE THROUGH THE PITTSBURG STATE
UNIVERSITY WEBSITE AT PITTSTATE.EDU.
