Where do I go for medical care after Student Health and Wellness Center is closed?

To report life threatening emergencies please call 911. When Student Health and Wellness Center is closed (see hours of operation), care is available you at a variety of local health care facilities. It is a good idea to carry a copy of your insurance card with you in case of emergencies.

If you are covered by an insurance plan we recommend that you contact your insurance company to determine what facility and providers are covered in your plan.
