The mission of the Mississippi State University Student Health Services is to prevent disease where possible, if prevention is not possible then to cure, where cure is not possible to control, where control is not possible to console, but to do all of this with compassion, integrity, and respect for our patients.
Recognizing that many of the major health problems in the United States can be changed by lifestyle modification initiated during the collegiate years, we are committed to health education and behavior modification as a major source of health evaluations, preventative education, wellness assessment, and personal direction.
The individual's right to privacy, dignity, and quality care are central to our service. All individuals regardless of gender, ethnic background, position, lifestyle or economic status will be treated the same.
