Appointments

Students who are sick are encouraged to contact us as early in the day as possible in order to receive same-day services. If you are experiencing an emergency, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, limb numbness, etc., proceed to the nearest emergency room — do not go to the Student Health Center. The time delay may be critical in receiving the immediate care necessary for an optimal outcome.

Scheduling

Call 215.220.4700 for an appointment. Online self-scheduling is also available via MyChart.

Telemedicine Appointments

We also implemented telemedicine appointments to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemedicine is a simple way for patients to be treated by their provider by use of secure, HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing technology without an in-person visit.

Telemedicine benefits include:

• Be seen/treated from anywhere
• No travel time
• No parking hassles
• Keep your distance from others without reducing your quality of care
• Review diagnostic tests during a Telemedicine visit

Please call 215.220.4700 to find out if you are eligible to schedule a virtual appointment.
