[AI-Generated Summary] The IU Health Center is a centrally located medical clinic that serves students, their spouses, and children over age 12, offering a transition from its historical roots as a 100-bed infirmary to a modern facility. Students can access care by making appointments up to two weeks in advance or visiting the walk-in clinic, with all medical records kept confidential for eight years. The facility is highly active, seeing approximately 46,000 patients annually through a staff of 24 specialists and nurse practitioners. Comprehensive services include Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), a Women’s Clinic, radiology, an eye clinic, and an on-site pharmacy. [cite_start]Additionally, the Health and Wellness Center offers nutritional counseling and fitness assessments like the "HAPPY" program, while the Physical Therapy department provides specialized rehabilitation equipment. Eligibility is primarily based on enrollment in credit courses, with services often covered by a mandatory health fee for those taking more than three credits.
