History
     
In 1954 when the University College of the West Indies was just six years old, the University Council, in association with the University Hospital of the West Indies, approved a Health Scheme for students and staff. The Health Centre as a unit was established in 1962, the scope of which has since been widened and is classified today as a commercial entity under the University Health Services.

The University Health Centre is committed to providing a supportive work environment in which the personal, professional and career development of each of its employees is enhanced to the benefit of the entire community.

In the first year of operation 1,264 patients were registered. Patient visits grew to 21,816 for 2003. The Centre has transformed physically too, and is now a modern patient-friendly facility which recognizes equally the needs of able-bodied and physically challenged persons.
The Health Centre aims to provide excellent quality Primary Health Care in an efficient manner, always ensuring that confidentiality is maintained.
