Primary Health Care

Welcome to the Primary Health Care site of Penn State Hazleton, Student Health Services.  Our goal is to help enhance students' health as well as assess and treat illness and injury.   When students get sick or injured at college, it can be very difficult for them as well as for family members who are so far away.   We understand that and make every effort to provide kind, compassionate and professional care to students at Penn State Hazleton.   Please check the following links or contact us for further information.
