University Health Services provides medical, mental health, and wellness services to students, residents, fellows, and trainees on the Johns Hopkins East Baltimore campus, which includes the School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the School of Nursing, and the Berman Institute of Bioethics. University Health Services remains open to Hopkins students, post-doctoral fellows, house staff, and trainees. UHS is here to assist you with your health care needs during this time.
Here are some things to know about UHS current operations.
• Please call UHS and do not visit the clinic. UHS nurses screen all patients for COVID-19 before making an appointment or having you stop in.
• In most cases, for the safety of patients and staff, rather than have you visit the clinic in person, we plan to utilize telemedicine or phone visits as much as possible.
• If you have a fever or symptoms of a respiratory infection (cough, sore throat or shortness of breath), a UHS staffer will speak with you on the phone and may offer a telemedicine visit if available.
• For telemedicine services, UHS will be using Zoom. They are currently in the process of implementing this platform, and will post an update on their website.
• For in-person visits, you may notice that fewer staff in the office, and that visits may be spaced out. You may also notice rearranged waiting and staffing areas that promote social distancing.
• When you call the clinic, since many staffers may be working from home, you maybe be asked to leave a voicemail message. UHS staffers will be checking these messages and getting back to you promptly to assist with your concern.
• UHS will not be having in-person evening hours during this time.
• If you have symptoms and need COVID-19 testing, please call UHS during business hours to discuss whether you qualify for the testing and how to obtain it. Results may take 24-48 hours to come back and you will be asked to self-isolate as per CDC guidelines.
