Additional Services

General Health Counseling

The staff of the Health Center are Registered Nurses.  Our role is to be a resource to you in illness and in health. If you are suffering from a cold or flu, stop in the Health Center for an assessment of your symptoms.  If you request, we can give you a two day supply of over the counter medications to help you symptoms.  We will also refer you to a primary care provider such as a physician if your symptoms warrant that.  If a referral is necessary, it is helpful if you are aware of your insurance's PPO list in Dubuque.

We can do strep tests in the office for a $20.00 fee.  If the test is positive, our medical advisors will arrange for you to be started on a prescription.  This saves you a trip to the doctor's office.

We also do pregnancy tests in the office for a $10.00 fee.  If the test is positive, we can help you with referrals to a primary care provider who will confirm and counsel you further.
