You have entered the Health Services web site. We are pleased that you have chosen to visit us and
would like to give you a little information as a means of introducing you to the site. Each page in our site will have a navigation bar on the left margin.
General Information tells you more about our
service - mission, clinic hours, what we offer, and who we are. You will also find links to listings of physicians and dentists in the Murray area.
We are very interested in providing the best confidential health care possible for students while they are at Murray State. Often this
requires having knowledge of past health history, current immunization status and family history. We now have the form
to complete available for you in .pdf format to print and complete. We would like to encourage you to take the time to
complete the Health History. This form may be mailed to Health Services [the address at the bottom of this page is correct - the one on the form is not].
The Risk Appraisal (also in .pdf format) should be completed by the student and brought to Health Services. The purpose of the Risk Appraisal is to give the student insight into areas of his/her wellness that may need improvement as well as potential threats to wellness. This is an excellent way for the staff to partner with students on an individual basis to make some significant changes in their health.
