Health and Counseling Services

The new Stephen F. and Marsha Dickey Health and Wellness Center staff provides on-campus consultation to students for minor illnesses, injuries and short-term mental health concerns. Laboratory testing is also available. Insurance is included for full-time undergraduate students in the Student Service fee. The insurance policy is supplemental, and the benefits are limited; students are strongly encouraged to maintain primary coverage with their parents.

The Dickey Health and Wellness Center allows the University to centralize the leadership and coordination of all student health, counseling and wellness programs. It also enables UT to continue its mission of helping students make positive lifestyle choices and achieve optimal wellness.

At 10,300 square feet, the centrally located two-story brick and glass building was designated to fit UT’s campus aesthetic. At the entrance, there is a large waiting room and reception area with natural lighting and garden views. Located on the main floor is UT’s new BioMeasure machine, which provides free instant health assessments. There are also eight exam rooms, a triage area, pharmacy, holding rooms, staff offices and space for counseling individuals and groups. The second floor is dedicated to wellness activities and programs. Another reception and small waiting area, 10 offices and a conference room are also located here. All rooms are equipped with computers, and a new electronic medical information system is being implemented.
