New student, welcome to FSHS!
We at the FSHS are here to support your health and well-being throughout your studies. We have collected an information page for new students on our website to help you get started with FSHS. Read more or watch our presentation video from our website.
The healthcare fee for students in higher education, which is paid to Kela, covers all services at the FSHS
Please remember to pay it for both the fall and spring semesters to Kela unprompted. Always check out Kela's website for more detailed information about the healthcare fee.
Start using YTHSDigi service
As a higher education student, the easiest way you can take care of issues related to your health with us is using our digital service, YTHSDigi.
On YTHSDigi you can
- contact us for an assessment of your need for treatment
- message FSHS professionals about your ongoing care
- join video appointments
- access self-care material on digital paths
- manage your appointment bookings
- complete forms
- complete the health questionnaire for first-year students.
YTHSDigi can be used both in the mobile app or on an internet browser. We recommend downloading the app for a smoother service experience and so you can receive notifications about your care.
