STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES | Student Health Services (SHS) remains committed to the health and safety of all our students. Due to the campus transition to online course delivery, and the guidelines from the CDC and the American College Health Association (ACHA), SHS strongly supports the practice of social distancing to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. SHS will screen all students who are experiencing symptoms of an illness or injury by phone or email to determine the best course of treatment. You may contact SHS by phone at 310.338.2881 or by secure email messaging through our patient portal.
SHS also shares the following additional services and resources for students:
- Prescription Refills
SHS may be able to refill prescriptions if the originator of the prescription was an SHS staff member, and you remain in the state of California. You will need to contact your other healthcare provider for a refill request if you are out of state or SHS did not initially provide the prescription. - After Hours Care
If SHS is closed and you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911. If your symptoms are not life-threatening and you live in the Westchester area, please visit the SHS website for a list of nearby urgent care clinics and hospital emergency departments. You may also contact the LMU Department of Public Safety for on-campus emergencies at 310.338.2893. If you are not living on campus and are out of the local area, contact your local healthcare provider. - Telehealth Options – Private Health Insurance
Another important resource may be your private health insurance carrier. We highly recommend that students and parents contact their health insurance provider to see if telehealth is being offered. Most health insurance plans offer a form of telehealth in their coverage. Thank you, and we hope you stay healthy in the coming weeks.
