Harvard University Health Services (HUHS) provides comprehensive, preventive care to students at Harvard University, as well as urgent care for emergencies or illness. Check out the links at left for some of our additional student-only services available to you beyond our regular practice offerings, and keep the following in mind:
- Your health care and medical records will remain confidential unless you provide written authorization; HUHS does not share your medical records with parents, deans, or faculty.
- All students are assigned a primary care physician (PCP) and team, and can change their PCP at any time.
- When you are ill or have an urgent care need, contact your PCP or team for an appointment.
- You may also schedule a routine physical exam with your PCP.
- Scheduling appointments to be seen by your PCP or primary care team will provide you with the best, coordinated health care.
- HUHS has four convenient locations across the Harvard University campuses.
- Urgent care (primary or mental health) is available nights, weekends, and holidays at HUHS in Holyoke Center in Harvard Square.
- All HUHS locations offer primary care and mental health care; HUHS Holyoke Center also provides a range of specialty care services available by referral from your primary care physician.
- All students are automatically enrolled in the Harvard University Student Health Program (HUSHP). Visit the HUSHP website for more information on the HUSHP Student Health Fee and Student Health Insurance Plan.
