Advice Nurse

The Advice Nurse is a service available at no charge for all UC Davis students to discuss health concerns and the need for medical care.

Primary Care

Primary care appointments are staffed by physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses experienced in the medical needs of college students. The majority of the problems you may experience while here at Davis will be effectively handled in this clinic.

Lab and X-ray Services

Our lab is currently processing essential orders only. Before coming to SHCS for routine labs, please communicate with your provider to determine if you need to have labs done at this time, or if they can wait for a later date.

Nutrition Services

Nutrition services are still being offered as phone visits. You will need a referral from your primary care provider in order to make an appointment. To schedule an appointment, call (530) 752-2349.

Optometry Clinic and Optical Shop

Regardless of insurance, you can schedule an appointment with our Optometry Clinic for a comprehensive eye examination and/or have your eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions filled at our Optical Shop.

Pharmacy Services

Pharmacy is open during normal business hours, but is closed to in-person visitors, and therefore offering curbside pick-up to patients. We are also now offering routine mail-order prescriptions at no extra cost (some restrictions apply)

Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) Intervention Services

ATOD Intervention Services works to empower students to make healthy and responsible choices concerning use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and HIV Testing

To learn more about getting yourself tested, check out the GYT UC Davis page.

Specialty Care

We currently have limited specialty services onsite and available by phone. If you are trying to access these services, and are an established patient with one of our specialists, please contact our registration staff. If you have questions regarding a referral to specialty care, please contact your primary care provider.
