Our Mission

Mission Statement
The mission of Student Health Services (SHS) is to enhance student success by providing a wide spectrum of high-quality, integrated healthcare services that meet the holistic health and wellness needs of students, faculty and staff.

Vision Statement
Student Health Services is a premier, integrated healthcare system that anticipates and responds to the healthcare needs of the Carolina Community. We empower these members to be self-directed, well-informed consumers of health. Student Health Services is recognized for its commitment to enhancing the health of the campus community; providing exceptional quality of care; delivering outstanding value; embracing evidenced-based practices; providing exceptional medical and health education; and supporting highly skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate staff.

Diversity Statement
Student Health Services believes that for a campus community to be truly healthy, it must be guided by the values of multicultural inclusion, respect, and equality. Intolerance has no place at an institution of higher learning. Student Health Services supports all individuals regardless of race, regional or national origin, age, gender, religion, disability, illness, or sexual orientation. We encourage the Carolina community to be actively involved in the struggle to end oppression, to prevent bias-related violence in our campus communities, and to take action to eradicate injustice.
