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鈥檚 mission to offer accessible, high-quality care to its diverse student
body. 鈥淲e are incredibly excited to have Dr. Nguyen on board and proud to offer new
services to our Women鈥檚 Clinic,鈥� said Dr. Gabriela Ortiz, executive director of the
Student Health Center. 鈥淭he Student Health Center and Campus Pharmacy are able to

annual exams, and check-ups specifically for women鈥檚 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.

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.
