Health Care Providers
As your Patient-Centered Medical Home, the University Health Service offers a team-based approach to patient care and treatment that is comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible. Health care providers are organized into two patient-centered Medical Home teams, the blue team and the yellow team.
To provide our patients with high-quality care as efficiently as possible, we assign all full-time students a physician or nurse practitioner as their primary care provider. Your primary care provider will work in collaboration with members of his/her team to coordinate your care and treatment.
When you call to schedule your appointment, the receptionist can see the name of your primary care provider on their computer screen. They will begin by offering you appointment times with your primary care provider or with someone from your primary care provider’s team.

You are welcome to change your primary care provider if you wish, or you may see any other staff member upon request.
