What's ChangedÌýÌý

The Student Health & Wellness Centre remains open but isÌýno longer accepting walk-in appointments. To ensure that COVID-19 screening takes place, patients who enter the Centre must have a confirmed appointment time. If you do not have an appointment and wish to be seen, you must call 902-494-2171 BEFORE entering the Centre.

To reduce the demand and patient volumes, the Centre has reduced the scope of service being provided at this time and haveÌýsuspended in-person appointment bookings for non-essential physician and nursing services. Sick notes and form completions will not be provided at this time.

From asking questions to our nurses online, to texting a counsellor from their phone, there are supports available to help them improve their health right from home.
