Health and Wellness

Penn State Wilkes-Barre is pleased to offer students health and wellness programs through a variety of workshops, programs and educational materials. Our goal is to help you learn how to care for your physical and mental health both during your college years and after you graduate from Penn State.

Immunization Requirements

Important! Immunizations offer safe and effective protection from vaccine-preventable diseases. The United States is experiencing re-emergence of these diseases, in part due to factors such as non-immunized and under-immunized persons as well as global travel. University Health Services of the Pennsylvania State University strongly supports the use of vaccines to protect the health of our individual students and our campus community.

Please click on the links below for additional immunization information and submission requirements:

Penn State Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)

Adequate health insurance provides students with security and an enhanced sense of well-being during their time at Penn State. Students who do not currently have adequate coverage on or near the campus they attend are strongly encouraged to enroll in the Penn State Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). SHIP, designed specifically for students, offers comprehensive health insurance at a competitive price with a wide network of providers across the United States. To learn more, contact [email protected] or call 814-865-7467.

Confidentiality Statement

Students’ health records are kept strictly confidential and access is limited to authorized health service personnel (i.e., physicians, nurses, and medical records personnel). Professors, university administrators, staff, and parents do not have access to student medical records. Medical information is released only with the student’s written consent or by a court-ordered subpoena.
