Coordinating Care

Health Programs works closely with the University Health Services clinical and support staff to provide students with high quality, coordinated care. In addition to our efforts, students are encouraged to take an active role in their healthcare maintenance. Whether you are a SHIP member, or a registered Mills student receiving "Basic Medical Services", there are a number of steps you can take to ensure that you receive the best, most appropriate care.
