We also work with community referral partners to connect you with needed medical resources or follow-up care.

    SHS offers pregnancy testing and gynecological care including screening for sexually transmitted infections and screening for cervical cancer (pap testing).

    Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the College of Charleston has relied on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for guidance on how to keep our community safe and healthy.
