Need a doctor or nurse? Our professional on-campus health care providers can help you manage your medical care.
Health Services can help with many non-emergency medical concerns, including proactive care (annual exams, well visits and screenings), as well as care for injuries and illnesses (including chronic illness management). For health care services that are not provided directly by Health Services, we can help you find other health care providers who may be able to take care of you.
Call 716-829-3316 and listen to the phone message, which will give you instructions for how to reach the after-hours nurse when our office is closed.
