Campus Health Center

The medical professionals at the CHC are committed to responsible stewardship and providing health care within the highest ethical standards. Our primary focus is to assist students in achieving their academic goals by maintaining their health, providing health education and student advocacy, and promoting self-responsibility for wellness. We strive "to focus proactively on students' health enhancing behaviors and measures that aid student learning in ways that are not limited solely to problems, symptoms, or illnesses." (Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education [CAS] p. 83, 2003)

CSUMB, through a contract with Doctors on Duty (DOD), jointly manages the CHC. DOD is a network of urgent-care clinics providing health care throughout Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties. The CHC also collaborates with a number of local and regional health resources to provide a wide range of medical services.

For a medical emergency on campus, either use the campus emergency blue light phones or dial 911. If you are located in the university's Schoonover or Frederick Park residential neighborhoods or off-campus, dial 911.

When the CHC is closed and you do not have a medical emergency you may contact any healthcare facility of your choice. Also, you may go to one of the Doctors on Duty (DOD) clinics listed below for medical care. If a student goes to a Doctors on Duty (DOD) clinic for after-hours services, a current CSUMB student identification is required for no-cost or discounted fees. Payment is the patient's responsibility.

Students may access off-campus Doctors on Duty (DOD) clinic locations for services:

• Whenever the Campus Health Center is closed (e.g., weekends, holidays, winter break)
• Anytime the Campus Health Center refers a student to a DOD clinic for medical care. A written referral must be obtained from the Campus Health Center if the visit occurs between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
• If the Campus Health Center is closed for unforeseen circumstances during regular business hours.
