Student Health Services

Stop on by we're open!

Student success starts with promoting and protecting the well-being of our students. Our Foothill Health Center provides high-quality health and wellness services to each of our students.  

Students will be greeted by our friendly Health Assistant that will assist students with making appointments to see a health care provider remotely via telemedicine or to visit Instant Urgent Care at the Santa Clara or Sunnyvale locations. Other on-campus services include free COVID-19 test kits, over-the-counter medications, band-aids, ice packs, and condoms. Click below for general medical services provided on and off campus.
