Kean University seeks to create an environment conducive to academic learning and personal development. Student Health Services intends to remove the hindrances and worry associated with physical and mental health.
The Student Health Services assists students in dealing with physical and mental health concerns with the purpose of enhancing students' academic experience. Located in Downs Hall, Room 126, both residents and commuters can access Student Health Services.
The Student Health Services is available through fall, spring and summer semesters. From Monday to Friday, it is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the fall and spring semesters.
The Student Health Services can meet the various needs of all students at any time. When students are feeling under the weather, they can receive primary care from the Student Health Services. Illnesses and conditions such as the cold and flu, allergies, urinary tract infections, physicals, injuries and more can be treated at the office.
Furthermore, Student Health Services encourages female students to visit the office with questions and concerns about their sexual health.

Want to schedule an appointment? The Student Health Services uses the pyraMED online electronic medical records system to schedule appointments. To do so, one must register for a pyraMED account at http://kean.studenthealthportal.com/. This will allow for the scheduling and cancelling of appointments.
PyraMED also allows students to view and control their medical information. All information in one’s pyraMED account is confidential and has no effect on one’s academic record.
Any medical questions can be answered daily by a member of the Kean University Student Health Services nursing staff. Questions are always kept confidential, and responses can be expected within one to two days after submission. Questions can be sent to hsnurses@kean.edu.
