Emergency Medical Care & Urgent Care Centers
If you are seeking emergency medical care, or need medical assistance when Student Health Services is closed or there are no appointments available, below is a list of nearby Emergency Rooms and Urgent Care Centers. We recommend calling ahead to make sure that you will be able to be seen by a healthcare provider.
Appointments at Student Health Services can sometimes get booked early in the day, it is recommended that you call as early as possible to schedule an appointment.
When visiting any outside medical facility, bring identification, your insurance card and a form of payment. You should always check with your insurance company first as to what, if any, fee you will incur when seeing an outside provider.
In case of an emergency situation, contact Public Safety at 203-371-7911 or dial 911.
If you need to reach Public Safety for a non-emergency situation, call 203-371-7995.
