OCO comes to the Mary Walker Health Center every Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. while college is in session to provide reproductive health care services to students (birth control, STI testing, routine women's health exams, etc.). They can also see students at their main office in Oswego the other days of the week.
OCO also provides free HIV testing to students through a mobile van. This service will be provided the first Thursday of each month in the parking lot of Mary Walker, starting this week -- Oct. 6.
