Health Services

The health center does not take the place of your primary care provider and does not dispense or refill pain medications or other chronic medications.

Students need a healthy environment to thrive, and a healthy campus community needs healthy students. The Student Health Center supports the mission of the university by improving the health and quality of life for all students. Our purpose is to help students maintain good health and prevent illness by providing quality care and services.

Testimonial

"The people here at Bethel are like nowhere else. Every school has classes and dorms, but not every school has such great people to fill them. Anyone who asks, my answer is always the same -- it's all about the people at Bethel."
