HEALTH: Health Services site
The starting point for all health services at Columbia is, well, Health Services, at http://www.health.columbia.edu
“Health Services at Columbia is about your well-being: helping you cope with colds and immunizations or managing stress and eating well - and also providing you with information and services so that you can take charge of your own health care needs, make healthy choices, learn some new skills, and focus on your academic, extracurricular, and personal goals while you are a student.”
Some useful contact information from that site is below. Familiarize yourself with the site so you will know where to turn if you ever have an emergency or even a routine healthcare need. Incidentally, the person in charge of Health Services, assistant vice president Margot Amgott, was the J-school’s admin dean for many years, so she knows our school well and still keeps in touch.
