Wellness Visits are designed to help you develop healthier eating and/or exercise habits. Appointments are geared directly to the individual student and her/his goals. Students will see a medical provider through Health Services. A thorough health history and physical exam will be completed. Participants learn to make behavior changes by assessing their readiness to change and developing an action plan geared toward them as Penn State Altoona students.
Cost
Appointments are billable through the student's health insurance. The student must bring their insurance card or information.
Schedule
Students can schedule an appointment at their convenience during office hours.
The initial office visit and any follow-up appointments are decided between the provider and the student.
Expectations
You are responsible for scheduling a Wellness Visit appointment. Treatment plans are customized to each individual student. If you do not cancel your appointment one hour beforehand, you will be charged a no-show fee.
