Operational Update from USC Student Health

3/20: In alignment with the “Safer at Home” order for control of COVID-19 issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on March 19, the following operational changes are in effect for USC Student Health as of March 20, 2020. Telehealth visits are strongly recommended as the primary route for patient visits; available appointments are viewable through the student health record portal, MySHR, https://usc.edu/myshr. Respiratory care protocols are in effect for patient care. All in-person routine and “well” visits are temporarily suspended.

Staying Well During Stressful Times

For students in our community, we encourage you to keep connected with each other and continue your social lives—use messaging apps and Zoom calls to check in with friends, see a counselor, have a streaming watch party, take an online mindfulness class. All these activities can continue even while keeping that safe social distance of six feet away from others. Parties, concerts, athletic events will all come back into our lives when the moment of pandemic infection passes; but for now, we are all taking a pause from these activities so we can protect the most high risk among us—our elderly relatives and neighbors, friends with immune suppression and underlying medical conditions—from preventable serious illness. View the entire message to students from Dr. Sarah Van Orman, Chief Health Officer, USC Student Health.

Continuing and Expanding Care through TeleHealth

As the situation around COVID-19 continues to impact our student community, we want to assure you that USC Student Health will continue to provide care—even expanding access through TeleHealth—during this time. USC Student Health will remain in operation; we will be part of the health care response community, and in alignment with other Keck Medicine of USC care centers, we are launching TeleHealth as a measure of providing care while also following public health guidance on social distancing.
