After hours urgent care

After hours care for urgent medical problems is available through the Urgent Care Department. Urgent Care is an acute care service staffed around the clock by physicians, physicians associates and nurse practitioners trained to evaluate and treat most acute medical problems.

“Urgent” problems are illnesses or injuries that require prompt care but will not generally cause loss of life or severe impairment if left untreated for a brief time.

“Emergency” refers to a situation where an illness is presently or potentially life threatening or threatens severe impairment if the patient is not seen immediately. For same day access please call your primary care clinician.

• For emergencies such as seizures, severe chest pain or difficulty breathing, immediately call 911 (off campus) or 111 (on campus).
• If uncertain about the severity of the problem you should call Urgent Care at 432-0123.
• You will be advised either to call 911, to come to Urgent Care or to contact your primary care clinician.

For advice about same day access after hours, in the evenings and on weekends, please call 203-432-0123 or come directly to Urgent Care.
