All of us at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee’s Student Health and Wellness Center wish you a relaxing and enjoyable break. Many of you are preparing for time away from campus, while others are getting ready to participate in commencement. Congratulations to our graduates — we’re proud of you.
As the semester winds down, we are sending a friendly reminder of some simple steps you can take for a smooth and healthy transition. Please take a moment to:
Refill your prescriptions
Request refills for any medications you’ll need. Contact us early to avoid delays during finals week.
Complete any outstanding visits/testing
If your SHAW provider has ordered labs or recommended a follow‑up visit, schedule those appointments now.
Pick up over‑the‑counter essentials
Stock up on commonly used items such as pain relievers, allergy medications, multivitamins, or other products available through our dispensary.
Pick up your allergy vials
If you receive allergy injections through SHAW’s nursing staff, remember to arrange the pick-up of your vials before leaving campus. Please coordinate with your off-campus provider to continue your injections.
Request a Release of Records (if needed)
If a health care provider involved in your care requests your SHAW health records, please complete a Release of Information form. Forms are available on the Patient Portal Welcome for both medical and mental health records request.
We’re here to support your health year‑round. SHAW services are available during the summer by paying a summer use fee when not taking summer course(s). Visit Student Health and Wellness Center for additional information. If you need assistance with any of the items above, or have other questions, please contact the Student Health and Wellness Center @ 414-229-SHAW (7429). We’re happy to help.
Wishing you a safe, healthy, and restorative semester break.
Sincerely,
The Student Health and Wellness Center Team
