Information for Parents
Greetings!
The staff of Emory University Student Health Services (EUSHS) care about the health and wellbeing of your child/student.

Please feel free to contact us if you need help and/or advice, parent-to-parent.
Your child has chosen a wonderful university, and we hope you will find that Emory Student Health Services provides the healthcare, mental health and wellness services your child needs to be healthy and successful at Emory. Welcome to our Emory family!
