Health Services

Hours

9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday by appointment only.
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday for symptomatic COVID-19 testing by appointment only.
No walk-in appointments will be available until further notice. Telemedicine will remain the primary method of care, as appropriate. Staff will evaluate the need for in-person appointments.
Closed during the summer and holiday breaks.

Health Services is open for appointments to all full-time undergraduate students. There is no additional cost to be seen at Health Services, as this is included in your student service fee. Services are provided by a team of nurse practitioners, support staff and a physician. Fifth-year graduate students who want to utilize Health Services should call the Business Office at (401) 341-2900 for more information.

Off-campus services such as laboratory testing, prescriptions, radiology and specialist care will be billed to your health insurance. Before you arrive on campus:

Call your insurance company to find out what off-campus services are covered in the state of Rhode Island.
If you are on medication, you should continue to have your current prescriber or primary care provider renew your prescriptions and check in with them during school breaks.
Clinicians can prescribe medications to students when they are seen at Health Services and medications can be picked up at a local pharmacy of their choice.

Health Services works with Newport Hospital to assist students during non-office hours. In emergency situations, students should go to the Newport Hospital emergency room or call 911 or the University's emergency line at (401) 341-2325.

Health Services is a confidential resource on campus, meaning that once you turn 18, staff are not allowed to discuss your health information with your family or other providers. If you have a medical emergency, the appropriate people will be notified. You may also choose to sign a release of information that allows Health Services to communicate with your family or other medical providers.
