The Health Center operates as a primary care facility, meaning we offer non-urgent medical and wellness appointments as well as some 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.
Virtual Medical Appointments
You can live video chat with a licensed nurse practitioner who is able to provide treatment recommendations and prescribe medications, if needed. These visits are free to students and are available from 8:00am to 8:00pm, 7 days a week.

Most private insurance plans offer a nurse advice line for their members to discuss health-related issues and receive guidance on next steps for care. Check your insurance card or contact your insurance company to see if these benefits are available to you.
A few private insurance nurse advice lines are listed below:
IMPORTANT: When visiting an off-campus provider, always bring your insurance card with you! You can visit the facility's website or call in advance to confirm that they accept your insurance.
