Welcome to our virtual lobby!

You can “pop” online during our virtual hours to ask a quick question, schedule an appointment with a nurse or therapist, get the help you need immediately, or just to chat to one of our team-members.

How do you feel today?

Chat with a nurse will be a great opportunity to connect with a nurse in real time and immediately to talk, ask questions or share concerns about your health. However, students can also schedule appointments during this time, such as during regular Virtual Lobby hours.
