Physical Wellness

A Collection of Healthy Resources

A body that’s appropriately fueled and fit is capable of great things—including academic success. We offer several resources to support physical wellbeing, because we know it plays a big role in our students’ ability to achieve their goals. We also care about our community’s wellbeing as a whole, so we help ensure each student follows our health compliance requirements.

Free Flu Shots Available in September and October

This fall, Creighton will offer free flu vaccinations to all students, faculty, and staff at the Omaha and Phoenix campuses. As a reminder, all health sciences students are required to receive an Influenza vaccine by November 1, 2026. All other students, faculty, and staff are strongly encouraged to receive an Influenza vaccine.  In collaboration with Cura Services-Student Health, Pharmacy, Paramedicine, and Nursing students will administer the vaccines this year.

In Nebraska, individuals under 19 years of age must have the consent form signed by their parent or guardian prior to arrival or a medical power of attorney on file at Creighton. If this is not complete, telephone consent will be required on the day of the clinic. The flu vaccine consent is available here.

All flu vaccines administered this year will be latex-free and preservative-free. Not all flu shots are egg-free this year. For questions, please contact studenthealth@creighton.edu.

Health science students will need to upload a copy of their flu shot documentation to Complio after administration. The Birdhouse is no longer an active system. Therefore, all students and staff are responsible for keeping their own documentation.

Shoo the Flu Clinics will be hosted at the following times and locations:

At Creighton, the health of our whole community matters to us. That’s why we have a few health requirements for our students. On our immunization compliance page, you can learn about these requirements, see how to manage them or obtain proof of compliance.

Health Insurance Requirements

To help protect the well-being of our Creighton community, all full-time students are required to have health insurance coverage for the full academic year. Find out more about this requirement.

Creighton Cupboard

This on-campus food pantry supports Creighton undergraduate, graduate and professional students who are experiencing any level of food insecurity. With a Creighton ID, students can shop the pantry during open hours or arrange for order pickups.

Alcohol and Drug Education

At Creighton, we know it’s crucial our students understand how to make good choices for their own well-being. To achieve that objective, we provide alcohol and drug education for our whole community, with an emphasis on helping first-year students adjust to college life.
