Purpose and Diversity

Statement of Purpose

The goal of the SSU Student Health Center is to provide high-quality, student-centered, on-campus medical, public health, and health education services that support student recruitment, retention, academic achievement and success. Services are designed to facilitate healthy lifestyle choices, promote a healthy campus environment, and reduce health-related barriers to each student's engagement in a diverse and inclusive higher education experience.

Diversity Statement

The Student Health Center provides all regularly enrolled Sonoma State University students with access to culturally aware, low-cost medical care, as well as health education, public health, and ancillary medical services. The intent is to facilitate a safe, healthy, welcoming environment for all students while reducing health-related barriers to student success. We strive to be attentive to the health-related traditions, expectations, communication styles, medical conditions, lifestyles, and needs of various populations, while at the same time respecting each student as a unique individual who reflects their own interplay of backgrounds, lifestyles, perspectives, identities, and personal health circumstances.
