Health Education

 

 

The Health Education Department is an integral part of the Student Health Center (SHC).  Qualified licensed medical professionals provide health education and outreach to Lamar University and Lamar Institute of Technology students through programs, presentations, individual consultations, referrals, brochures and pamphlets, and campus wide events (Health Fairs, Blood Drives, etc.).  All services are free and confidential.  Pre-arrangement with adequate advanced notice is required.
