We are excited to announce a new telehealth resource available to all students starting today. Seattle University has partnered with TimelyCare to offer students 24/7 access to virtual medical and mental healthcare from anywhere in the United States. This exciting new service, funded by the student wellness fee, provides a great supplement to our existing on-campus health and wellness services with no out-of-pocket cost or insurance requirement.

  • Medical: 24/7, on-demand access to a medical provider that can treat a wide range of common illnesses like cold and flu, sinus infection, allergies and more.
  • Scheduled Medical: scheduled options to speak to a medical provider.
  • TalkNow: 24/7, on-demand access to a mental health professional to talk about anything at any time.
  • Scheduled Counseling: scheduled options to speak to a licensed counselor (up to 12 visits per year).
  • Health Coaching: resources to help students adopt healthier lifestyle behaviors related to sleep issues, nutrition, weight management and more.
  • Psychiatry: services provided by referral from an on-campus medical or mental healthcare provider.
  • Group Sessions: Weekly Guided Meditation and Yoga Group Sessions, plus specialized discussions throughout the year. 

Whether you're under the weather, anxious, or overwhelmed, you will be able to talk to a licensed provider from your smartphone or any web-enabled device.
