After-Hours Primary Care

The Health Center operates as a primary care facility, meaning we offer some urgent medical and wellness appointments as well as same-day illness appointments (dependent on availability). If you have an urgent medical need, you may be advised to visit an off-campus urgent care facility or emergency room; please see our list of local off-campus facilities below. The Health Center does not have the capacity to operate as an urgent care or emergency facility.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911, Campus Safety at 503.943.4444, or go to the nearest emergency room. Visit our Health Emergency Resources page for a list of local emergency rooms.
