Asking Questions

Staying Healthy starts by asking questions. No question is too simple or complex when you need answers. Our Registered Nurses are there for you.

“I noticed a strange rash on my arms recently that won’t go away. What should I do?”

“I’ve has a bad cold for several days. What else can I do to treat it at home?”

“I fell yesterday and my ankle still hurts. Should I go to the Emergency Room?”

Complex Decisions

Some health problems are more complicated than others. Our nurses can help you understand risk factors and treatment options.

“I was just prescribed a new medication and now I feel dizzy sometimes. Could that be a side effect?”

“I have been drinking more frequently and am afraid I may have a problem. Should I talk
to someone about this?”

“I’m worried I may be pregnant. What should I do?”

“I’m embarrassed to talk to my family doctor about sexually transmitted diseases. What
other options do I have?”

Collegiate Assistance Program focuses on Early Intervention and Prevention. Research shows that people who are more informed make better decisions and have better results.
