May & June 

Appointments will be available 2 to 3 days per week. Students will be scheduled for the next available appointment or connected to care off-campus if needed.

August 1st  

Appointment availability will resume.

Labs & Imaging

Most lab work can be collected on site and billed to your health insurance or paid out-of-pocket. The cost for lab work submitted through your insurance is subject to your coverage. Please contact your insurance company prior to lab collection for estimated out-of-pocket costs.

We also accept outside lab orders from your home doctors or specialists. Lab orders from outside providers can be faxed (503.943.7199) or emailed (hcc@up.edu) to the Health & Counseling Center. Once your lab orders have been received, call 503.94.7134 to schedule your lab draw appointment.

We do not have on site imaging services (X-ray, Ultrasound, CT, etc.), but we can order imaging at local hospitals or imaging centers that accept your insurance.

Confidentiality Statement

The Health & Counseling Center staff value our ability to provide students with a safe and confidential place to seek help. Therefore, we will not disclose student information (including appointment history and medical records) to parents, friends, coaching staff, or faculty unless we have signed release from the student. 

Due to confidentiality concerns, our providers do not answer medical questions over email. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the front desk at 503.943.7134.
