Safety Is Our Priority

UConn Health has enacted extra precautions and guidelines to maintain the highest level of safety for our patients, visitors, and employees. Some of these measures include:

  • Symptom screening for patients and visitors, and policies requiring all employees, students, and trainees to self-monitor for symptoms and remain home if they have COVID-related symptoms.
  • Required masking in inpatient and Emergency Room areas where patients are present.
  • Thoroughly cleaning exam rooms pre- and post-patient visit.
  • Ensuring all our staff and providers wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow CDC guidelines.

More Options With Telemedicine

For your next appointment, you can request a video visit or phone call in place of an office visit. With telemedicine, a health care provider can review your symptoms and recommend treatment. They can also order medications or lab work or schedule an office visit if necessary. You can request a telemedicine visit through MyChart, our online patient portal, or by calling 1-844-GET UCONN.
