The University of Houston’s Student Health Center is enhancing its Women’s Care Clinic by adding a range of new services and welcoming Dr. Vien Nguyen, a UH alum and board-certified OB-GYN, to the team. Dr. Nguyen’s arrival brings expanded care options and underscores the Center’s commitment to prioritizing student health through a robust health promotion and education program.

Dr. Nguyen brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role, along with a passion for supporting the unique health needs of college students. Her background aligns well with UH’s mission to offer accessible, high-quality care to its diverse student body. “We are incredibly excited to have Dr. Nguyen on board and proud to offer new services to our Women’s Clinic,” said Dr. Gabriela Ortiz, executive director of the Student Health Center. “The Student Health Center and Campus Pharmacy are able to continue our commitment to the promotion of health and creation of resources for our UH community.”

The new services offered at the Women’s Care Clinic include comprehensive OB-GYN consultations, annual exams, and check-ups specifically for women’s health. Students can now access expanded contraception management services, such as oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). Additionally, the clinic will now offer obstetric care and follow-up services, providing vital resources for women in need of specialized reproductive health care and support.

The expansion of services at the Women’s Care Clinic is part of a larger initiative by the Student Health Center to respond to the evolving health needs of UH students, with a particular focus on accessible, preventative, and educational care.
