Health Insurance

We strongly recommend that all students have health insurance.

If you are covered under a health insurance policy through your parent(s) or guardian(s), please confirm that coverage will continue while you are at Saint Mary’s. Please also confirm that services obtained in the area (Winona Health, Mayo, or Gundersen) will be covered by your health insurance plan. Please have a copy of your insurance card available to you, should you need to seek healthcare services off campus.

Saint Mary’s University does not offer a student health insurance plan. If you need insurance, you may find it beneficial to check with an independent insurance agent who can assist you in finding coverage to meet your needs.

Student Health Services

Committed to providing quality, accessible healthcare for all students.

This includes assessment and management of acute illness and support of student health for ongoing conditions. Health education, health promotion and mentorship provide long-term benefits to students as they learn to navigate today’s complex healthcare environment and appropriately utilize limited healthcare resources.

Confidentiality:

All Wellness Center appointments and records are held in strict confidence. Information will not be shared with parents, faculty, administration, peers or anyone else without the student’s consent. An exception is made if a life-threatening situation arises.

Schedule an Appointment:

You will need to set up an appointment through the My Winona Health portal. If you already have a portal account, you can skip to the attachment which walks you through how to make the appointment. If you don't have a portal account, follow the instructions below.

If you don't have a portal account,you must call 507.457.7648 to register yourself in the Winona Health system before you are able to make an appointment. Be sure to mention that you are a Saint Mary's University student. They will ask for some basic information such as name, birthdate, address, and Social Security Number. Your SSN is to serve as a security question. If you don't have it, a different security question can be used. Once this is completed, you will receive an email with a direct link to make an account for the MyWH portal. This link is only active for 24 hours. You should receive this link immediately. If you don't, call back and ensure they heard your email address correctly. You can then schedule on the My Winona Health portal or through their app going forward. Instructions for how to navigate the portal once you reach that step are below.
