Medical Issues

Emergencies : CALL 911.  For next steps, see In Case of Emergency.

Otherwise:

  1. Call a medical advice line
    • UW Students – During Office Hours: 206-685-1011, After Hours: 206-520-751
    • Non-UW Students – Call your health insurance plan’s advice hotline
  2. Contact your Instructor or TA to let them know
  3. If it is determined you need to see a local health professional in person:
      • Peace Island Peace Health Medical Center: 360-378-2141.  Although the clinic may not be able to see you, the Emergency Room there will be able to take you.  If it is NOT an emergency, however, think twice before going to the ER and if you do go, show them your insurance card at the Front Desk and ask about coverage; the ER can be very costly.
