To Johns Hopkins students from the Homewood and Peabody campuses who use SHWC services, the center remains open and is here to assist you with your healthcare needs. A few things to know about SHWC operations during the COVID-19 pandemic are: • Student Health and Wellness can be reached by calling 410-516-8270. • Online scheduling has been temporarily disabled. • When the clinic is closed you will be connected with the nurse advice line by calling the main number. • Please call rather than come in, so that initial guidance can be provided by phone. SWHC staff will 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 visiting the clinic in person, the SHWC plans to utilize telemedicine or phone visits as much as possible. • If an in-person visit is medically necessary, please avoid bringing family and friends. • For telemedicine services, the SWHC 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 that rearranged waiting and staffing areas that promote social distancing. • There will be no in-person evening or Saturday hours during this time. • If you have symptoms (e.g. fever and shortness of breath) and need COVID-19 testing, please call the SHWC 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. • If you plan to leave campus, consider contacting the SWHC to refill your prescriptions. If the medication is not a controlled substance, we will be able to prescribe it in any state. • You can also find resources and updated information on the university’s operations and response on the Hub COVID-19 Information Page.
