Meetings in the virtual lobby are by request only.

Please request your virtual consultation at studenthealthcenter@cuesta.edu or (805) 5463171.

You can “pop” online during our office 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.

If this is an emergency, please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For mental health crisis, you may contact the SLO Hotline for 24-hour suicide and crisis support by calling (805) 783-0607 or text "courage" to 741741.

Si se trata de una emergencia, marque el 911 o vaya a la sala de emergencias más cercana. En caso de crisis de salud mental, puede comunicarse con la línea directa de SLO para recibir apoyo en casos de crisis y suicidio las 24 horas llamando al (805) 783-0607 o enviando un mensaje de texto con la palabra "coraje" al 741741.
