Medical support services
A number of different services are available to address your medical concerns.
Concordia Health Services:
Health Services is your on-campus wellness clinic and health promotion centre. Patients must book an appointment to access care. We offer routine appointments in-person, as well as some virtual appointments.
Health Services operates Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If you are experiencing an emergency, call 9-1-1 or consult our crisis resources. For more urgent care services, if the clinic is full, or for afterhours care, please consult the additional resources on this page.
- If you're located in Canada, you can use the Lumino Health search tool to find healthcare providers in your province or territory. Appointments are virtual and/or in-person. Use of the search tool is free, but providers do charge fees for their services.
- Telehealth lines across Canada: Connect with a nurse or social worker 24/7 for advice and referrals to medical care in your area.
Telemedicine services (available within Canada)
Telemedicine services offer 24/7, confidential virtual care, and are available to many Concordia student and employees. Health professionals including nurses, doctors and counsellors can provide diagnosis, prescriptions or referrals with virtual appointments. These services are best used for minor health issues that can be addressed within one consultation.
Dental and vision care
- For students covered by CSU or GSA health plans, Studentcare networks provide discounted rates for dental care and vision care. Consult your insurance plan for more information.
- Quebec’s network of independent dental hygienists-run clinics offer prices that are often more affordable than those provided in traditional dentist-run clinics. Use their search engine to find a clinic near you (website in French only, so use your browser extension to translate as needed).
