TSU PAWS & Health Awareness

TSU Health Services – Promoting Wellness & Disease Prevention

At Texas Southern University (TSU), Health Services goes beyond medical care, offering seminars and peer-led outreach programs to promote healthy living. Our disease prevention efforts focus on minimizing infections and easing concerns about bacterial meningitis, HIV/STIs, and influenza.

Each year, we host health awareness events, including the TSU Health & Wellness Fair, held in collaboration with the TSU Recreation and Wellness Center every 3rd Wednesday in September. This event connects the TSU community with free health services, including HIV testing, blood pressure checks, dental & vision screenings, flu shots, and nutrition advice.

Students, faculty, staff, and the local community can access free HIV testing at the Student Health Center every Wednesday during the fall and spring semesters. Additionally, we organize blood drives, bone marrow registration drives, and health awareness campaigns focusing on HIV/STI prevention, heart health, and overall wellness.
