The UPEI Health & Wellness Centre provides high-quality health services to all students as well as faculty, staff, and their families.  Like everyone, we are trying to navigate our way through the impacts of COVID-19 and keep you and our staff safe! Some tips to make things go smoothly:

- Wear a mask. The University has made the wearing of non-medical masks in campus buildings mandatory, effective September 8. 

- Come to your appointment prepared. Please bring your provincial health card or proof of international insurance.  Ensure they have not expired. If they have, we will require you to renew prior to your appointment or re-schedule. This link will provide contact information to provincial health card sites: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/health-cards.html. If you have been given forms to complete, please ensure they are complete before you arrive.

- Please be on time. To avoid having too many people congregate, come no more than 10 minutes early. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you may need to re-schedule your appointment.

- Avoid dropping in to make appointments.  As the physical space is small, we are trying to avoid having too many people in the space at one time. It is preferred if you would telephone us (902-566-0616) or email us (healthcentre@upei.ca) to make an appointment rather than dropping in.  

- Unless absolutely necessary, please come alone to appointments.  Again, to ensure proper physical distancing, we are trying to minimize the number of people in the health centre and so we are asking that you not bring a friend or family member with you to your appointment unless it is absolutely necessary.

- COVID-19.  If you have symptoms of COVID-19, have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19, or have been outside the Atlantic Bubble in the last 14 days, please do not visit the health centre.  If you have symptoms or been in contact with someone who has symptoms of COVID-19, contact 8-1-1 for directions regarding potential screening for COVID-19. 

- First-time visitors. Please note that we have some standardized forms that all patients must complete the first time they visit the health centre. We appreciate your patience as we develop a new chart.

- Types of visits. We provide in-person visits, telephone visits as well as virtual visits (Zoom Healthcare).  Feel free to request any of these options.

It is our hope that you will experience professional, high-quality services at the health centre. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions.  Stay safe!
