Since the Student Health and Counseling Center (SHCC) is funded mostly by student fees, the primary purpose of the organization is to provide a student voice in health center operations, promote a positive and open channel of communication between SHCC staff and the student body, and to contribute additional awareness of student issues and how to better serve the health needs of students at CSUF.
