COVID-19: Accessing Care

Hall Health is designated an “essential service,” so we will remain open throughout the pandemic. For everyone’s benefit, please take the following precautions:

Always call 206-685-1011 before coming to Hall Health for medical or mental health care. Returning patients may be able to schedule through MyChart depending on the type of care needed. We may recommend scheduling you for a telemedic visit using a secure platform.
Always wear a mask when you visit our clinic. The mask must may not have a vent or exhalation valve because these openings do not prevent you from spreading COVID to others. If you arrive without a mask, or with a mask that has a vent or valve, you will be given a free surgical mask to wear inside the building.
If you are experiencing COVID symptoms, designate someone else who does not have symptoms to pick up your medication from the Rubenstein Pharmacy at Hall Health.

Mpox FAQ

Mpox (formerly monkeypox) can cause fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and rash.
Mpox is distinguished from COVID by swollen lymph nodes and a rash that often looks like blisters or pimples.
Mpox is usually spread from one person to another through close contact (often skin-to-skin). To date, the majority of patients diagnosed with mpox have been men who reported sexual or close intimate contact with other men, sometimes with anonymous or multiple partners. Anyone who has high-risk contact with a person with mpox can be infected, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. For more information, please refer to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The mpox virus can also stay alive on objects or surfaces touched by people who are infected. Hand sanitizer and common household disinfectants kill the virus.
Patients with exposure to mpox or possible symptoms of mpox can make a telemedicine appointment by calling Hall Health at 206-616-2495. At the telemedicine visit, the provider may recommend an in-person appointment for further evaluation.

Testing for mpox at Hall Health is limited. We are open by appointment to new UW patients, but we are currently not able to see new patients who are not UW students.
The vaccines used for smallpox can also protect against mpox. The WHO is not recommending mass vaccination for most people at this time, but people in some high-risk groups are eligible. Hall Health does not carry the vaccine.
