University Health Center

"get in. . . get well. . . get going. . ."

University Health Center, located inside Saginaw Valley HealthCare, provides walk-in primary medical care, disease prevention, health education and various specialty services to SVSU students, faculty and staff, and the surrounding community. The University Health Center is conveniently located adjacent to campus at 2970 Pierce Rd., on the corner of Bay and Pierce Roads. [campus map »]

University Health Center (UHC) is a MedExpress, operated by Covenant Health Care Systems. The Center is staffed with board certified physicians, physician's assistants, nurse practitioners, specially trained nurses and lab technicians. Later in the summer, a primary care physician will open a practice in the clinic located at the adjoining site. The physician is Kathleen Skelcy, DO.

Patients may contact UHC to set up their account in advance of making use of the Center for urgent medical matters. While potential users of UHC are invited to “walk-in” for treatment during hours of operation, it is possible to set up appointments in advance.

The old location on the second floor of Wickes Hall is no longer open. The University community is to use the new facility.

Should you require more emergency care than expected, University Health Center is affiliated with the Covenant Emergency Care Center and has a direct line to Mobile Medical Response (MMR) for transport.

Fees & Payment

For students, the basic fee for an office visit is $10, but charges may vary with other required procedures. Payment can be made at the UHC at the time of service with cash/check or credit card, the balance can be applied to the student's SVSU Cardinal Direct account or the charge can be submitted through the student’s health insurance provider.
