Health Programs

Kaiser Student Health Plan

Student health and wellness is a primary concern of the College, and Mills continually looks for ways to improve upon and provide convenient and comprehensive medical care, education, and medical services and resources to assure students' well being.

We are pleased to announce that, after extensive hard work and discussion, Mills College has signed a contract with Kaiser Permanente to provide health coverage and care for Mills students on our campus. All Mills students have on-site access to a physician and a nurse five days a week in the Student Health Center, and the ability to access online health and wellness services along with pertinent resources, tools, and expertise to support getting and staying healthy at www.kp.org. Additionally, students who are enrolled in the Kaiser Student Health Plan can avail themselves of extensive medical care at the Oakland Kaiser facility, as well as at all other Kaiser facilities. The Student Health Center provides certain services covered in the new healthcare plan, with the full range of services available at a Kaiser Permanente facility. The Student Health Center serves Mills College students only, and dependents who are covered under the Student Health Plan can receive services at any other Kaiser Permanente facility.
