University Health Services After-Hours Care

After-Hours Care

UHS is closed and I need medical care. What should I do?

For non-urgent problems, please call us during regular hours and we will do our best to accommodate you. 

For any urgent medical concerns, after hours or on the weekend, please call the Johns Hopkins Hospital page operator at (410) 955-4331 and they will get in touch with the "on-call" physician for you. Please click here for more information.

Note: We are only allowed to provide medical advice for our patients. If you have the Student Health Plan, but are not seeing one of our UHS providers, please call your personal physician's office for advice, as we will not be able to assist you.

If you absolutely must seek medical care when the clinic is closed, you have 2 main choices:

1. Go to an Urgent Care Clinic, such as Patient First

• Patient First is open daily from 8 am - 10 pm, including weekends. The closest location is at Johns Hopkins at Green Spring Station:
  
  10755 Falls Road
  Lutherville, MD 21093
  (410) 583-2777
  
  
• Please refer to the Patient First website for additional locations.

2. Go to an Emergency Department of your choice.

• If you are receiving care at the UHS Clinic by one of our providers, please seek the advice of the on-call physician before you visit an Emergency Room to ensure that such a visit would be medically indicated, or you will run the risk that this visit may not be covered by your insurance.
  

Note: We are only allowed to provide medical advice for our patients. If you have the Student Health Plan, but have chosen a non-UHS provider, we will not be able to assist you. Please call your personal physician's office for advice.
