Message from leadership banner

For over 100 years, Boynton Health has been dedicated to Taking Care of U!

Here are three reasons why you should trust us with your health and well-being needs:

U COME FIRST

We will care for you with compassion and empathy. We are here to help you get the care you need so you can focus on your studies and this important time in your life. Boynton Health is the second largest campus health service in the nation, and our focus is on students.

ONE STOP SHOP

To meet your healthcare needs, we offer many services on campus under one roof and at different sites, including West Bank and St. Paul. Physical therapy, reproductive health, gender care, vision care, mental, and nutrition are some of our many services. 

SUPPORT

We strive to provide high-quality, inclusive, and equitable care. We have programs to address other areas in your life that may impact your health and studies, such as Boynton Health’s Gopher Chauffeur, Boynton Health’s Nutritious U Food Pantry, and Boynton Health’s Pet Away Worry & Stress (PAWS). We are here to help you navigate services to meet your health and well-being goals.

When I was a graduate student, I came to Boynton Health. Moving to a new city and having a chronic asthma condition was daunting. During this time, Boynton provided me with excellent care, from my travel clinic shots to on-going care for my asthma. 

Now in my new role as Director of Health Services & Chief Health Officer, I am committed to making sure you have the health care and other support to make your time at the University of Minnesota a success.
