The Student Health Service is the on-campus source for meeting students’ primary health care needs. The staff includes physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, health educators, laboratory technologists, and technical and administrative staff, dedicated to providing students with quality medical care and the services necessary to optimize health and wellness. We encourage you to explore their website and learn about the resources available to you.
The student health policies of the University ensure that all students meet the physical examination and health history requirements of the University and that students working in clinical settings meet the requirements of University health care facilities and clinical affiliates, as well as the state health code. These policies also comply with Public Health Law 2165, which requires all students in post-secondary education to be immunized against poliomyelitis, mumps, measles, diphtheria, and rubella.
Information about the University’s Student Health Service and health policies is provided, with links to all forms, at the Student Health Services website:

Stony Brook Infirmary Fee
All students must pay the Stony Brook Infirmary Fee. The fee covers comprehensive health services for both medical and mental health problems, for students and visiting scholars. It is not a substitute for health insurance. The Student Health Service building is the only location on campus where the mandatory health fee can be used. Medical Services that are beyond the scope of the Student Health Service can be obtained either at University Hospital Medical Center or through other medical providers in the community. However, the infirmary fee will not cover the cost of any medical services outside the Student Health Service Building. Call (631) 632-6740 for further information.
