Student Health Services

A Student Health Center on each campus provides health education and promotion, health assessment, selected health screenings and limited illness care. Scheduled health education and promotion events include the health fair, smoking cessation activities and breast cancer awareness programs. In cooperation with the College Student Health Services, the Long Beach Public Health Department provides counseling and testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

In the event of accidental injury while on campus or while engaged in college sponsored activities, the student who needs to use the college student accident insurance coverage must contact someone in one of the Student Health Centers. The college student accident insurance, after a $50.00 deduction, will pay for most of the necessary medical care provided by approved physicians in approved health care facilities.

The LAC Student Health Center is located in the Women's Gym in Q120-124, near the pool area. The PCC Student Health Center is located in the administration area in AA101-106. For information concerning current hours of operation or to make an appointment, telephone (562)938-4210 for the LAC Center or (562)938-3992 for the PCC Center.

Voluntary Health Insurance

Both medical and dental insurance plans are available for students and their dependents. The medical insurance pays part of the expenses associated with illness or injury. The dental insurance offers two plans to assist with payment of dental expenses. Brochures and application forms are available in the office of the Dean of Student Affairs and in the Student Health Centers.

Psychological Counseling Services

Student Health Services and the Counseling Departments on both campuses have cooperated to provide brief psychological counseling for students with personal problems.
