Heading back to campus means getting ready for classes, activities, sports, and a busy schedule. The last thing any college student wants is to spend hours waiting at an urgent care center or emergency department when they are not feeling well.
That’s where EMConnect comes in.
EMConnect provides virtual access to board-certified emergency medicine providers, helping students get expert care for many non-life-threatening health concerns without leaving their dorm, apartment, or campus.
Healthcare That Fits College Life
Between classes, studying, work, and extracurricular activities, finding time for healthcare can be difficult. EMConnect makes it easy to connect with a provider from wherever you are.
Whether you’re in your dorm room, apartment, library, or dining hall, you can access care using your phone, tablet, or computer.
Common Student Health Concerns We Can Help With
College campuses are known for shared living spaces and busy schedules, making it easy for illnesses to spread. EMConnect providers can evaluate and treat many common conditions, including:
- Colds and flu-like symptoms
- Sore throat and cough
- Congestion and sinus pressure
- Ear infections
- Eye irritation and redness
- Allergies
- Minor rashes and skin concerns
- Nausea and mild gastrointestinal symptoms
- Minor injuries and sprains
If medication is appropriate, prescriptions can be sent to your local pharmacy.
Skip the Waiting Room
No one wants to spend valuable time sitting in a crowded waiting room, especially during the school year. With EMConnect, students can receive an evaluation, treatment recommendations, and guidance on next steps without disrupting their day.
Many visits can be completed in a fraction of the time it takes to travel to and wait at an in-person facility.
Stay Connected to Family and Caregivers
Being away from home can make healthcare decisions feel overwhelming. If needed, family members or caregivers can participate in visits, helping students feel more comfortable and supported while receiving care.
Expert Care from Emergency-Trained Providers
Unlike many telemedicine services, EMConnect connects patients with board-certified emergency medicine providers. These providers are experienced in evaluating a wide range of symptoms and determining the most appropriate next steps for care.
Know Where to Turn Before You Need It
Getting sick or injured is never part of the plan, but knowing where to go for care can make all the difference. Before the semester gets busy, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with EMConnect so you’ll know exactly where to turn if you need medical care.
This school year, skip the waiting room and get the expert care you need, when and where you need it.
