Student Health Services
Welcome to Health Services at Foothill
Medical Insurance is Not Required!
However, we strongly recommend that students have additional health insurance for broader coverage.
Student success starts with health and well-being. Foothill College Health Services provides you with access to high-quality health and wellness support to help you stay healthy, focused, and successful throughout your academic journey. Most Health Center services are available at low or no cost once you’ve paid the required Health Services Fee during your class registration. You may qualify for a fee exemption.
- This fee supports both Health Center Services (when available) and Mental Health Services.
- Keep in mind that the student health fee does not cover hospital visits, specialist care, dental or vision services, or emergency transportation.
For Emergencies Call 911If you have an emergency or need an ambulance, please call 911. Do not contact the Health Center. |
