Sindecuse Health Center achieves re-accreditation

Sindecuse Health Center was surveyed in March by an Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care expert in quality care standards. Accreditation is granted for a three-year period and must be renewed regularly.

Shingrix Vaccine Not Available

Due to an unprecedented consumer demand for Shingrix, this vaccine is being placed on backorder status by the manufacturer. Sindecuse Health Center has depleted our stock of the vaccine. For this reason, we are not able to make appointments to administer the vaccine. Because we do not know when vaccine supplies will be received, we are no longer adding patients to a wait list. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Community providers are experiencing similar challenges due to the vaccine shortage. 

Flu Shots are Available Now

Health center staff have started the 2018-19 flu shot season and are ready to give vaccinations to the campus community. Appointments are available weekdays and at two outreach events planned for October. The Student Health Advisory Council secured a grant from Alana’s Foundation to cover the cost of vaccines for up to 160 uninsured and underinsured WMU students.
