• MSUM and Minnesota State Community and Technical College students are fortunate to have a full-service health care clinic located on campus.  Like your hometown clinic, we refer all emergent care to the local hospital emergency rooms - 10 minutes by car.  The local ambulance service is located 3 blocks from campus. 
• The Hendrix Health Center is accredited by the American Ambulatory Association for Health Care. 
• The laboratory and the pharmacy meet all standards for state licensure and national certification.
