Health and Wellness Clinic

The Health and Wellness Clinic is not currently seeing patients in person due to the coronavirus pandemic.  We do not currently have the capacity to test for the virus, nor do we have sufficient protective equipment for our staff to assess patients. 

We will provide telehealth appointments for mental health and COVID-19 consultations. Please visit the patient portal to schedule your appointment. Note, we are only scheduling mental health and potential COVID-19 patients at this time. Please seek outside care for all other types of appointments.

We will continue to check voice messages and respond to emails, and plan to do what we can to refill prescriptions in a timely manner when appropriate. If you would like your preferred pharmacy changed please email us at healthwellness@stkate.edu and let us know the name and location of the pharmacy you would like us to send approved refills to.

At this time we would like to remind our community that the most important thing we can do for ourselves and the health of our community is to limit contact with others, wash our hands, and stay home if we are not well.
