The Drake University Student Health Center located inside Broadlawns Community Clinic at Drake is a medical facility offering quality healthcare to full-time Drake students.

The Health Center is comprised of two medical doctors, one physician assistant, and one nurse practitioner. Students can get immediate answers on medical related concerns, receive remedial treatment, and assistance in connecting with local physicians and hospitals when a higher level of medical support is needed. 

Services offered include (not limited to):

  • Basic physical exams
  • STD testing and treatment
  • Allergy injections
  • Family practice support
  • Women health services 

Medical History Form

All full-time undergraduate students, including any student within Bright College, Law School, Occupational Therapy, Athletic Training, Nursing, and Pharmacy must complete and return a medical history form to the Student Health Center. Submitting this form before the start of the semester is incredibly important. Students who have not completed and returned this form prior to the first day of their first semester of classes will have a hold placed on their student account until it has been completed and turned in.

Medical History Form  

The Health Center's mission is to provide services to the campus community to assist students in their preparation to be active and engaged participants in an increasingly complex world.
