Building a healthy foundation for The Gator Nation since 1906, the UF Student Health Care Center (SHCC) is an accredited outpatient facility staffed by licensed, board-certified health care professionals committed to helping all patients achieve maximum physical and emotional health. BILLING & INSURANCE

At the SHCC, the tuition-included University health fee covers patient financial responsibility associated with most office visits — for example, when a health care provider evaluates a sick patient but does not order any tests, procedures or prescriptions. NOTE: The health fee, a UF fee paid as part of tuition, goes to many campus-wide health initiatives and does not cover all possible medical charges at the SHCC. As a service to our patients, the SHCC will forward a claim to a commercial insurance carrier if all appropriate information — including the policy number, group number and company mailing address — is provided. NOTE: While SHCC staff is available to help, it is the patient’s responsibility to know what their insurance policy covers, and the patient is ultimately liable for any charges not covered by insurance. Contact the insurance company in advance of care to learn about policy benefits in detail. For current information and deadlines related to the Mandatory Health Insurance requirement for all students beginning at UF Summer 2014 or later, please visit http://studentinsurance.shcc.ufl.edu. Visit the "Fees & Insurance" area of the SHCC website for more detailed information about health insurance options: www.shcc.ufl.edu/fees-and-insurance.

👻 New costume just dropped: Our Patient! 👻

Includes remembering their insurance card (the real jump scare), calling ahead to schedule, and following SHCC on socials because they know health care doesn’t have to be scary. 🎃

It’s the costume that never goes out of style: practical, proactive and prepared. 🩺

This Halloween, you don’t need a mask. Just bring your real self to SHCC. 🦇

For Ryan, a PhD candidate at UF, grad school wasn’t research and routines. It was exhaustion, skipped meals and health problems piling up fast. 😓

Then came a referral to SHCC dietitian Hannah Stahmer, and a completely different approach to nutrition.

No judgment. No restriction. Just realistic tools, campus resources and support that actually fit his life. 💪

In less than a year:
✅ 25 pounds lost
✅ Energy and appetite regained
✅ Labs dramatically improved
🥗 Food isn’t the enemy anymore. It is part of the comeback.

The lion does not concern himself with the coughs echoing through Library West. 🦁

But you might want to. 👀

When campus cold season hits, it’s hard to tell if you’re fighting allergies, the flu or something stronger. Knowing the difference can save you a lot of stress (and a few unnecessary WebMD spirals).

Here’s the breakdown 👇
🤧 Allergies: come on fast, stick around and love to show up when pollen’s high.
😷 Flu and Cold: sneak in slow, hit with fatigue and fade usually before two weeks.

Don’t play guessing games with your immune system. The SHCC can help you figure out what’s actually going on and get you back on your "grindset". 🐊💊

✅ Save this post for mid-semester sniffles.
✅ Share with your roommate who swears it’s “just allergies.”
✅ Be the lion (but also, maybe, see a doctor.)
