What's Still Available  

Distance appointments with doctors, nurses, counsellors and the social worker are available.

Students are able to book distance appointments with members of the Student Health & Wellness Centre healthcare team, including same-day counsellors, doctors, nurses and our social worker. Community patients are able to book distance appointments with their family doctors – these appointments will take place by phone unless an in-person appointment is required, determined by the physician.

How you book an appointment at the Student Health & Wellness Centre remains the same. Students and registered community patients can book an appointment online or by phoning 902-494-2171. 

What's Changed  

The Student Health & Wellness Centre remains open but is no longer accepting walk-in appointments. To ensure that COVID-19 screening takes place, patients who enter the Centre must have a confirmed appointment time. If you do not have an appointment and wish to be seen, you must call 902-494-2171 BEFORE entering the Centre.

To reduce the demand and patient volumes, the Centre has reduced the scope of service being provided at this time and have suspended in-person appointment bookings for non-essential physician and nursing services. Sick notes and form completions will not be provided at this time.

Mental Health Online Resources for Students

Dalhousie and King's students have access to a library of online and mobile mental health resources. From asking questions to our nurses online, to texting a counsellor from their phone, there are supports available to help them improve their health right from home.
