The University does not appear to have had a formal student health program until Dr. Edwin Fauver was hired as professor of Hygiene and Physical Education in 1916.  He was also the physician for the sports teams, and in 1921 was appointed college physician.  Three earlier physical education directors had also been physicians, including John William Hobbs Pollard (1902-1905), Charles Crawford Stroud (1905-1910), and Dudley B. Reed (1910-1911). 

The Alumni Gymnasium opened in 1930 and included a small space for conducting physical examinations.  Munro Hall, a women's dormitory on the Prince Street Campus, opened in 1939 and included a small infirmary.  In 1940 spare rooms in Burton Hall were pressed into service as an infirmary.  The Navy V-12 Program on River Campus during World War II established an infirmary in Strong Memorial Hospital.

In 1955 an outpatient infirmary or clinic for men and women was installed in the Alumni Gymnasium and a small infirmary was included in the new Women's Residence Hall that opened in late 1955. The small infirmary was changed to an outpatient clinic in 1995.

The Student Health Service was established in 1962 under Dr. John H. Flinn, combining student health activities for the River Campus, Medical Center, and Eastman School of Music.  A full-time psychiatrist was hired in 1963.  In 1966 employee health services were combined with this organization and renamed University Health Service.

Dr. Clifford B. Reifler was appointed head of UHS in 1970 and in 1983 he also assumed the duties of medical director of Strong Memorial Hospital and senior associate dean for clinical affairs.  Dr. Ralph Manchester joined UHS in 1983 and was appointed director in 1994.

In the 1970s the Psychology Department set up a Counseling and Special Services Center, which was later known as the Center for Psychological Services and then Counseling and Psychological Services.  This was abolished in 1991 and UHS took over all Mental Health services on campus. Counseling and Mental Health Services changed its name to University Counseling Center in 2002.

UHS has moved many times between the River Campus and Medical Center, but these wanderings came to an end when a groundbreaking ceremony was held on May 16, 2007 for a new University Health Service Building adjacent to Susan B. Anthony Residence Hall, allowing all of its services to be delivered in one location.  A fourth floor addition to the building was completed in July 2020.

UHS also operates satellite offices at the Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester Medical Center.

1902 Report of the President of the University of Rochester 1901-1902
Pages 24-25:    Mr. Green, who has been director of Physical Education for the last two years, has offered his resignation in order that he may be free to enter upon the study of Medicine next year. Following instructions received from you at the meeting in May, the Executive Committee have elected as Mr. Green's successor Dr. John W. H. Pollard, now Physical Director at Lehigh University. Dr. Pollard was graduated with the degree B. L. from Dartmouth in 1895; he spent one year in preparing himself specially for the work of Physical Education, and was then for three years Physical Director at Union College, in which position he won the high regard alike of students and faculty. While at Union, he was in attendance on the medical college at Albany, and he resigned his position in order to give his entire time to medical studies at the University of Vermont. He received the degree M. D. at that institution last June, and accepted an appointment at Lehigh for the present year. A college graduate, a graduate in medicine, and a man of successful experience, he comes to us to undertake our work with an equipment which we believe promises brightly for his success. By arrangement with the University Council, Dr. Pollard is to undertake, in conjunction with his duties as Physical Director, the responsibilities of coach of the various athletic teams in the College. We believe that this step is one in advance, inasmuch as in this way a member of the Faculty will have his hand directly upon the athletic activities of the students, and be able to give wise counsel as well as helpful guidance and instruction. The fact that Dr. Pollard is a physician will prove of no little advantage to our students, inasmuch as he will hold himself ready to render aid in any case of need which may arise in the course of the work in Athletics or in the Gymnasium.

1906 Report of the President of the University of Rochester 1905-1906
Pages 4-5:  Director Charles Crawford Stroud, A. B., M. D., succeeded Dr. J. W. H. Pollard as Physical Director.
Dr. Stroud came to us from Tufts College, where he had served as Physical Director for nine years and as Medical Director for six years, and had established a high reputation. He was graduated Bachelor of Arts at Tufts in 1894. He then served as teacher of Classics and Physical Director at Burr and Burton Seminary at Manchester, Vermont, for one year, and in 1895 returned to Tufts for the study of medicine, receiving his degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1898. Dr. Stroud is employed jointly by the University and the East High School. His mornings are given to the High School, and his afternoons to us.
It is a pleasure to report that in all of Dr. Stroud's work he has sympathetically co-operated with the rest of the Faculty, and has impressed upon the students that the proper place of athletics in college life is that of an aid to other college work. Consequently we have been free from the effort, which is sometimes made, to secure special dispensation from scholarly requirements for the benefit of students who are supposed to be valuable for athletics. At no time during my connection with the institution has the athletic life been so wholesome and so full of good promise for the future.

1916 Report of the President 1915-1916
Pages 11-12:  Mr. Harry T. Watson, who has been with us as Physical Director for Men since 1911, has resigned from that position and will leave us at the close of the academic year. Mr. Watson has rendered The University of Rochester whole-hearted and effective service in the department of Physical Education. He has been a loyal colleague and a tireless worker, and has earned our warmest regard and respect. He was appointed to succeed Dr. Dudley B. Reed who left us to go to the University of Chicago in 1911. From the outset Mr. Watson knew and loyally accepted the fact that we believe the Physical Director should be a graduated physician. And he has known and loyally accepted the fact that ever since he came we have been looking for a physician who in other respects also possesses the qualifications for an efficient professor of Hygiene and Physical Education. Now after long waiting we have secured such a man. Mr. Watson carries with him our affection, our respect, and our confident expectation that he will do large things in the very important work to which he has given his life.
The new professor of Hygiene and Physical Education, elected by you at the May meeting of the Board, is Dr. Edwin Fauver who is now Assistant Professor of Hygiene and Physical Education in Princeton University. Dr. Fauver was graduated Bachelor of Arts from Oberlin College in 1899. The year 1899–1900 he was physical director, athletic coach, and tutor in history in Alma College, Alma, Michigan. From 1900 to 1905 he was acting director of the gymnasium, instructor in physical education, and athletic coach at Oberlin College. In 1905 he received the diploma of the Normal Course in Physical Training at Oberlin. From 1905 to 1909 he was a student of medicine at Columbia University, and received the degree M. D. from Columbia in 1909. While studying medicine, Mr. Fauver was teacher of gymnastics in the Horace Mann School from 1905 to 1907, and special teacher in physical training at the Teachers' College, Columbia from 1907 to 1909. From 1909 to 1911 he was professor of hygiene and physical education, professor of physiology and college physician at Swarthmore College. From 1911 to the present time he has been at Princeton University as assistant professor of hygiene and physical education.
The appointment of Dr. Fauver at the time that our new athletic field is ready for use gives promise of a most important enlargement of our work for more perfect health through normal and wholesome exercise.

Every UR and Eastman School of Music student automatically has a ten dollar infirmary fee included in her tuition. All students stricken or injured during the college year, and this does not mean before one enters college or during the summer months, is eligible to apply for care at the UR medical office, or, if in need of it to have up to eight dollars worth of hospital care a year at Strong Memorial Hospital by the university.
It has only been since the opening of Munro in 1939 that there have been rooms available to the students to serve as an infirmary. These rooms are located in the left of the first floor in this building. During the 1920's two physicians were on call for the student's use. In the latter part of that decade, Dr. Gertrude McCann was in charge of a medical office which was set up, and she continued until 1942. She was succeeded for the following year by Dr. Miriam Pennoyer.  Dr. Jean Watkeys, a UR and Strong Memorial Hospital graduate came in 1943 and is the present doctor in charge. She may be visited during the office hours which she has set up.
Mrs. E. P. Brown has been the  day nurse in charge since 1931.  Since the existence of the infirmary, there have been several night nurses, but none so far this year. However. Miss Lillian  Henderson and Miss Lois Carroll,  students for the bachelor of science in nursing degree at the University will serve from now until June in this capacity.
