Medical Emergencies

What To Do in a Medical Emergency?

If you encounter a medical emergency when the clinic is closed, call 911or the Homewood Security Office, 410-516-7777, to request an ambulance.  Either is correct, but Security can assist the Baltimore City Fire Department with finding your campus location.

 After Hours Care

 What To Do if You Have a Non-Life Threatening Medical Problem? 

If you have a non-life threatening medical concern or health problem that cannot wait until the next time the Center is open, the Student Health & Wellness Center has contracted with Sirona Health, a nationally certified and accredited on-call nurse advice service.  If you call our main number (410-516-8270) anytime the SH&WC is closed, after the recording, you will automatically be transferred to Sirona Health.   Sirona Health can advise you on how to proceed with your problem.  They do not have access to the JHU SH&WC records to verify appointments or answer other administrative questions, so for these types of problems, you will need to call back during normal hours of operation.

There also are urgent care facilities within driving distance of the JHU campus that are open as late as 10:00 pm.  You can call these facilities to get an idea of the wait time and costs.
