Local Urgent Care Resources
Several local Urgent Care Centers and Emergency Rooms are listed below. An urgent care center may be a good resource for non-immediate or non-life threatening concerns when Student Health is closed. Remember to check the facility’s hours of operation.
If you have health insurance, check with your provider for information about costs or co-pays associated with emergency room admission or care. For a current list of urgent care facilities which accept the university Student Health Insurance use the Find Providers search tool on their website: www.aetnastudenthealth.com/gmu.
To avoid the the Student Health Insurance Plan Emergency Room co-pay, look for an Urgent Care that is NOT a full-service emergency room.
