ON-CAMPUS RESOURCES
What are some health resources if I am a student on-campus?
The Welty Student Health Center is scheduling all nursing and physician visits; there are no walk-in visits. You can call the Health Center at 509-527-5295 or at 509-527-5281 for a nurse consult.
- Regular nursing hours will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
- Medical provider hours will be 9-10 a.m. daily.
If you do not want to come into a doctor’s office, some facilities are offering virtual health care visits. You can check with your health insurance provider to see if they have a preferred virtual health care provider. Both Providence St. Mary Medical Center in Walla Walla and the University of Washington are offering virtual visits.
