Welcome to WMU
We're glad you're here. We serve the health care needs of all students enrolled at Western Michigan University. Every WMU student is eligible to receive services at Sindecuse Health Center whether they are insured or not. Please explore our site to discover the many services and health education opportunities available.
Immunizations
We strongly encourage verification of immunization status for all students. Please review our recommended immunizations to protect personal health and the health of the Western Michigan University community. We offer all of the recommended immunizations on the list.
Ongoing care
If a new WMU student wants to review complicated health history to determine whether transfer of care to the campus health center is appropriate, please call (269) 387-3287 to make an appointment to discuss care with one of our providers.
When students require specialty care not delivered at the health center, a clinical visit may be scheduled with a Sindecuse provider to obtain your health history and assist you with a referral to a Kalamazoo specialist.
Transferring prescriptions
To transfer a prescription, bring your medication container and prescription insurance card to the Sindecuse pharmacy. We’ll take care of transferring your prescription.
