University Health Services extends hours by popular demand


Beginning Monday, Aug. 20, FIU’s University Health Services will extend its hours of operation in order to better serve Panthers.

Students will be able to visit UHS Mondays through Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Students who were not able to come during traditional office hours asked us to extend our hours,” said UHS director Dr. Oscar Loynaz. “So we started out by extending hours on Tuesday evenings. It was such a success that we made the decision to extend our hours all days of the week.

“Now, students are able to access our services at a time that is more convenient to them. We hope that students take advantage of these new hours.”

Students will be able to access all of UHS services during the new hours, from general medical to the women’s clinic to the Wellness Center and the pharmacy.
