Information for Parents
Greetings!
The staff of Emory University Student Health Services (EUSHS) cares about the health and wellbeing of your child/student. Since many of us are parents, too, we wanted to give you your own web site section with information about Student Health Services on our campus. Please feel free to contact us if you need help and/or advice, parent-to-parent.
Your child has chosen a wonderful university, and we hope you will find that Emory Student Health Services provides the healthcare, mental health and wellness services your child needs to be healthy and successful at Emory. Welcome to our Emory family!
Yours very truly,
