    Going to the Health Center. They are relatively inexpensive and prescriptions are usually free. Don't let your apprehensiveness of doctors offices scare you from ours. Also, parking is plentiful outside the grounds, with a little walk, save on parking passes, which have to be bought every quarter.. that's almost 200 a year!
