All students are eligible to access health care at University Health Services/Tang Center. Students have the option of speaking with an advice nurse by calling 643-7197 if self care may be appropriate for their particular concern. The student may also elect to make an appointment, especially for chronic problems or routine health maintenance such as an annual exam. If the student has a more urgent matter, the student may go to Urgent Care unit on the first floor of the Tang Center to speak with the triage nurse. The nurse, with physician assistance as needed, will work with the student to identify the most appropriate site of care—the Urgent Care clinic, the emergency room, or a clinic appointment—and expedite the student receiving needed care. 

The Tang Center’s regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.  Urgent Care is open 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays.  See Tang Center Hours. If the Tang Center is closed, students may call After Hours Assistance at 643-7197 for resources and referral information.
