Welcome
LHU Glennon Services provides adequate medical evaluation and treatment to students that are enrolled at the university. No appointments are needed. Walk-in service is provided during posted hours of operation. We make every effort to provide professional care that encourages, educates, and assists our students in developing a healthy lifestyle. It is required that each student have on file a complete medical history form. This form is completed the freshman year. It contains:- Personal history
