The Student Health Center will be offering telehealth support for students Monday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. If you are a student in need of health services please email Valerie Aronov-Schwartz, a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner at varonov-schwartz@harcum.edu. In your email please state your name, date of birth, and three time slots during the day when you are available for a telehealth appointment. Valerie will email you back to confirm an appointment time. If during the telehealth appointment, a nurse practitioner decides that an in-person appointment is necessary, one will be made. If during the telehealth appointment over the counter or prescription medications are prescribed by the provider a follow-up appointment will be provided where the student will be able to pick up their medications from the student health center. It is extremely important to keep the Harcum community safe during this time. If you are not feeling well please STAY HOME.
