Husky Health Center
The Husky Health Center (HHC) is your home for all your general health needs while you are a student at the UW. Treating everything from sore throats to sports injuries, it is your convenient and centrally located resource for primary care, sports medicine, physical therapy, free nurse advice, OB/GYN care, immunizations, travel medicine, lab work, X-rays and much more.
As a member of the renowned UW Medicine system, the clinic offers diverse care options and is a fantastic resource for students as they transition to oversee their own medical care. HHC highly recommends that all students set up an account on MyChart before beginning their first quarter so that they can access resources as soon as they arrive.
If you don't already have a UW Medicine MyChart account, go to MyChart and click the "sign up now without an activation code" button to activate MyChart at the Husky Health Center today!
Huskies also love to take advantage of bargain prices at Rubenstein Pharmacy and a variety of safer-sex supplies like free condoms and lube, supplied by Husky Health. Be sure to ask about all the health benefits you receive at HHC as a fee-paying student at the UW!

Civil Rights & Title IX
University of Washington policies, in compliance with federal and Washington state laws, collectively prohibit discrimination based on the following protected characteristics, whether actual or perceived: race, color, creed, religion, national origin (including shared ancestry), citizenship, sex, pregnancy, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, disability and veteran status.
If you experience discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct, you have the right to request supportive measures and access available resources, regardless of whether you wish to request a university investigation or alternative resolution process. You also have the right to report the incident to the University or the police.
Making an online Civil Rights & Title IX report will connect you with a Civil Rights Case Manager who will help you understand available options and navigate resources. If you are seeking confidential support or are not yet sure if you want the University to know about your experience, you may prefer to reach out first to a University confidential resource.
