Gardner-Webb Health Clinic

The mission of the Gardner-Webb Health Clinic is to provide comprehensive, high-quality healthcare for the entire Gardner-Webb community, including students, faculty, and staff. This mission is especially focused on supporting our on-campus residential students, who may not have an established healthcare provider in the area. Gardner-Webb University is deeply committed to the overall wellness of its community.

Faculty, Staff, and Students

Students, faculty, and staff pay no out-of-pocket fees to use the clinic. Spouses and dependents of faculty and staff who are on the University health plan may use the clinic for sick visits for a $15 copay.

Student Health Services

Gardner-Webb University partners with Atrium Health to provide student health services to all students, including graduate, online undergraduate degree completion, and part-time TUG students. Residential students and full-time traditional undergraduate commuter students are assessed a Student Health Clinic Fee of $125 per semester, which is charged to their account and grants them access to the Gardner-Webb Health Clinic.

Graduate and online undergraduate degree completion students may contact Becky Toney to opt-in and pay the Gardner-Webb Health Clinic Fee for access to the clinic.

Coverage Details

No claims will be submitted to a student’s health insurance provider for care provided through the Gardner-Webb Health Clinic. All costs are covered by the Gardner-Webb Health Clinic Fee.

Through this partnership, Gardner-Webb ensures that high-quality, accessible healthcare is available to support the health and wellness of the entire Gardner-Webb community.
