Clinical Attendant Policy

SHCS Service Announcement

Due to scheduled union action on 
Tuesday, April 1st, 
there may be a reduction in services at SHCS. 

We are taking necessary precautions to assure your visit to SHCS during that timeframe goes smoothly. 

Anytime, including when SHCS has reduced services, students can call the following resources: 

Medical:  

Medical Advice Nurse at 530-752-2349 

Counseling:  

Counseling Services 24 Hour Consultation Line: 530-752-0871  or

Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: at 988

Additional support is available:  LiveHealth Online for SHIP students (virtual medical and mental health care) and UWill (virtual mental health care).

It is our policy to have a clinical attendant in the room during any exam that involves the breasts, genital or rectal areas. You may also request an attendant for any other exam. For your comfort, you are also welcome to bring someone you know and trust to your appointment with you – although, the provider will likely want to discuss your exam with you alone first to ensure having that person in the room is your decision.
