Health Service

Campus in the spring.

The Health Service is open to all students from the College of Arts and Sciences, the Law School, and the Graduate School. Our goal is to provide safe, quality health care for students in the Lewis and Clark community.

Health Service is closed for the summer break and will reopen August 30 for fall semester.

Health Service Updates: March 2023

Appointment access

Due to staffing shortages this semester, wait times for appointments have been impacted and some students may experience delays in appointment availability. If you feel you need to be evaluated urgently for a health concern, and we are not able to accommodate that request, we encourage you to seek an off-campus evaluation. Here is a list of local urgent care facilities and hospitals. We will continue to strive to meet the needs of our campus community and appreciate your patience during this shortage.

Nurse Consultation Line

The institution contracts with a third party “Nurse Consultation Line” (Fonemed) that provides after-hours medical advice. They are experiencing delays in their call back response times due to demand and their own staffing shortages. If you would like medical advice after hours, another resource you can also utilize is the medical advice line associated with your personal health insurance plan. Typically, there is an advice line phone number located on the back of your insurance card. For PacificSource members, you can download the mobile app to access their 24 hour NurseLine.

Health Information Portal

You will need to register on the Health Information Portal to obtain copies of your receipts/statements to send to your insurance company for reimbursement.
