Utica University announced on Aug.20  a new partnership with WellNow Urgent Care, a leading supplier of urgent medical and virtual care services. The service has officially started this semester and is now accessible to students on campus.

Providers from WellNow have set up at the Student Health Center located at 204 Strebel Student Center, offering their services Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Alongside in-person appointments, students can take advantage of 24-hour virtual care, as well as three Well Now locations easily accessible within five miles of campus, all open seven days a week.

Students should bring their student ID, insurance card and credit card payment.

“The partnership with WellNow aligns with student needs and preferences,” Dean of Students Richard Racioppa said in the university’s announcement. “We’ve tracked the data for several years and found that many students were already gravitating toward Well Now because they’re familiar with the brand and have had good experiences there. Partnering with Well Now seemed like a natural fit because it allows us to offer students expanded service, hours, and convenience with a brand they know and trust.”

Ariel Rios, executive director of the Student Health and Wellness Center, confirmed the services are fully operational and that students have already begun using them.
