Integrated Student Health Center
The Integrated Student Health Center (ISHC) is comprised of a medical clinic, counseling services, and wellness services. We also manage the Student Health Insurance Plan. A Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) is an essential partner in helping us to plan affordable high quality and relevant care for students.
Our Mission
The OIT Student Health Center exists to assist students to realize their own goals of success in college by providing for and safeguarding their physical and mental health and wellness.

To prevent the transmission of swine flu or other influenza viruses, the same precautions for seasonal flu apply:
· Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
· If you get sick, stay home from work and school.
· Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Practice coughing and sneezing into your elbow rather than your hand.
· Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.
· Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose. Wash your hands before and after touching them.
