Health Center

The Pfeiffer University Health Center provides high-quality, confidential health care delivered by Atrium Health. The health center is located in the Stokes Student Center. It is open Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. (it is closed 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.).

Appointments can be made 24/7 by visiting MyAtriumHealth.org (online scheduling available after your first visit), or by calling the health center at 704-463-3425.

If you need non-emergency care outside of normal clinic hours, call the health center to get connected to several after-hours resources, including nursing support and the on-call provider.

In addition to in-person visits, video visits can be scheduled for patients located in North Carolina. Video visits are a great option if you’re too sick for an in-person visit or are off campus during school breaks.

Students do not pay any out-of-pocket costs for services they receive at the health center. These services are covered by your student fees.

Services include:

• Sick visits for colds, flu, COVID-19, allergies, sinus infections, urinary tract infections and more
• First aid for minor cuts, burns, sprains, strains and more
• Testing for STIs and pregnancy
• Wellness exams
• Vaccinations
• Care for chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma
• Prescription management
• Annual physicals
• On-site labs
• Specialty eConsults, whereby the clinic provider can consult with select Atrium Health specialists
