UH Health Center

Since 2002 the University of Houston’s Health Center has been benefiting faculty and staff with their amazing service and affordable prices. While the center does not accept our employee health insurance, there are plenty of reasons to visit them. They are conveniently located within walking distance of your office. No appointments are necessary. And the Health Center maintains an onsite laboratory, pharmacy and x-ray machine.

Staff pay $35 for general physician services and additional discounted rates apply to blood work, prescriptions and x-rays. Employees often spend less money purchasing a prescription at the UH Health Center’s pharmacy than they might using their insurance co-pay elsewhere.

The Health Center is also an active campus member. They offer free HIV screenings every June and December. (Last June employees participated at the highest rate ever!) This month is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and on Sept. 21st, men can visit the Health Center to receive a free PSA screening. For more information about their services and a calendar of events, please visit the Health Center’s website at www.uh.edu/admin/hc.
