     The Health Services staff at the College of the Holy Cross are committed to providing students with clear, up-to-date, and candid information regarding sexual health, and related issues. Health Services has an excellent staff of physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses who are qualified to offer information, testing, and prescriptions for a wide variety of issues related to sexual health matters including sexually transmitted infections. Health Services staff prescribes contraceptive medication for medical needs. Health Services will meet the health needs of all students either within the clinic or by an off campus referral process. Educational opportunities are provided with proper consideration for confidentiality, sensitivity and compassion. The goal of this educational approach is not only to provide information but to assist students in clarifying their values, making decisions, and assuming personal and social responsibility for their choices.
