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.

This website is designed to connect people with services and information related to all aspects of accessibility. As of Monday March 26, 2020 all Student Disability Services (SDS, DSS or DS) offices will be operating during usual business hours, and some will be moving to fully remote operations. Please review all pertinent details below, watch for emails from SDS, and check local disability services websites for your school for more specific timelines and updates.
Here are some things to know about Student Disability Services’ current operations.
SDS Homewood Office: Hours, Staffing, Appointments
Student Disability Services Homewood will be moving to fully remote operations as of Tuesday March 17, 2020.

Disability accommodations and services for schools moving to remote classes
SDS is continuing to work with students already registered to ensure that the transition to remote classes will be effective. This process will involve many changes in a short amount of time and there are some things you can do to make sure your needs are addressed:
o Reach out to your faculty members to learn about how your courses will be delivered as well as how accommodations will work. Faculty may elect to use different delivery methods and formats so it will be important to know these details as soon as possible.
o Some accommodations may not be delivered in the same way in a remote setting, and it will be important to contact your faculty to get guidance from them about how things will work for a given course.
o Contact SDS with any questions or concerns as soon as possible. SDS is available to support you and your faculty with this transition.
o SDS has been collaborating with instructional design staff in providing guidance around accommodations to those assisting with setting up the remote courses as well as to all faculty who currently have students using accommodations.
o With the move to remote course delivery, there may be a learning curve for new technologies as well as potential new challenges in delivering accommodations. Please reach out to SDS to talk things through, report problems, and let them know if you need additional accommodations or support.
New Accommodation Requests
Students may discover that accommodations are needed for the first time due to the change to remote classes. Please contact the SDS coordinator for your school to get started with the SDS registration process. Many aspects of the process are already online, and meetings to discuss your needs, explain how things work, and finalize accommodations will happen remotely.
Students remaining in the residence halls on campus (Homewood and Peabody)
Please let SDS know you are here so that we can continue to communicate with you about any updates or changes that may impact you in a particular way. SDS services will be delivered remotely including exam accommodations for all remote classes; this is to reduce contact and also provide consistency in the way we deliver accommodations.
If you need additional support during this time, please do not hesitate to reach out so that SDS can assist you in sorting out any disability related concerns and connecting to appropriate local resources.

The artist-centered approach consists of a series of presentations and interactive workshops required for all incoming undergraduate and graduate students designed to enhance mental and physical health, maximize effectiveness in practice and daily living to achieve peak performance, and recognize and manage injuries if they occur.
In collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Ear, Nose & Throat and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation departments, all incoming undergraduate and graduate dancers, instrumentalists, and singers are provided with voluntary baseline occupational health screenings at no cost. Participants receive a set of recommendations and educational materials on playing- or singing-related health and referrals for consultation, as needed. All screening results are confidential and are shared with the participant only. Screenings are intended to identify potential issues early in the course of academic study to provide a pathway to further assessment and care when indicated.
The JHRN Clinic for Performing Artists offers specialized services for performing artists experiencing pain or injury including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and hand therapy. The clinic is located at and primarily serves the Peabody campus, but is open to any Johns Hopkins student who is experiencing physical pain related to artistic performance.
