Your health is your greatest resource — during university and after! The things you do day-to-day have a tremendous impact on your health, and in turn, on your academic and professional success.

At the weekly wellness outreach, Concordians can speak with a health-promotion specialist, book an appointment on the spot, and pick up some reliable, evidence-based information on how they can improve their health and reach their health goals.


3. Appointments with health professionals

Did you know you can book an appointment with a nurse for sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing contraception counselling treatment of simple urinary tract infections, strep throat, and more? Don't hesitate to call for a consultation when needed. You can also book an appointment with a family doctor.

Contact them to book an appointment. This service is free of charge.


4. Vaccination

Many Concordians are not up-to-date in their vaccines; this puts them at higher risk of getting and spreading infections.

That’s why the Routine Adult Vaccine Program, exists. Make an appointment today to review your history, ask questions and receive any shots you may be missing.

Health Services’ annual flu shot clinics are tentatively scheduled to open November 15. Keep an eye on our website for updates.


5. Walk-in clinic for uncomplicated medical conditions

Urgent care services are available to all students, faculty and staff in need of same-day medical attention that does not require hospital-based services.
