UNC Student Health Gets New System | Durham News

UNC Health has officially taken over student health services at UNC Chapel Hill, bringing sweeping changes to how students book appointments, access records via MyChart, and handle billing — sparking both excitement and frustration. While the move aims to seamlessly integrate students into the broader UNC Health network for continued care after graduation, some see it as a cost-driven shift. Mental health services through CAPS remain under university control, though severe cases can be referred to UNC Health specialists. Initial hiccups like reduced Saturday hours are being addressed with staff redeployment — nearly 140 full-time employees now serve student health — and expanded virtual care options. Though administrative hurdles persist, the goal is a more connected, efficient system with consistent electronic records, all while keeping campus fees unchanged.
