Mission Statement
The Mission of the Suzanne Walton Health Service is to enhance the educational and developmental process for students by modifying or removing health-related barriers to learning; promoting an optimal level of wellness; enabling students to make informed decisions about health-related concerns; and empowering students to become self-directed and prudent consumers of health care services. In so doing, the staff seeks to maximize opportunities for students to achieve their wellness potential integrating body, mind, and spirit to grow into all that God intends.

The Health Center is open Mondays to Fridays from 9 AM -5 PM. Appointments are strongly encouraged but walk-ins are always welcome. Give us a call at 610-341-5955 or email us at healthcenter@eastern.edu to schedule an appointment.
Emergency Care After Hours
In cases of illness and injury after Health Center operating hours, students should contact Public Safety and notify their Resident Directors. Students are encouraged to always call 911 in an emergency.

Program and Activity-Specific Health Requirements
The student health center health requirements pertain to the general student population. Students are responsible to have the pre-entrance student health records completed, signed by their physician, and submitted to the student health center. These forms may be accessed through the health portal link.
Please note that other Eastern University departments, programs, or activities may have different student health related requirements in addition to those required by the student health center.
