  • Download the St. Luke’s app and click “Start a Virtual Visit” on the home screen. When prompted, enter your personal information and promo code “Lafayette”.
  • A provider will ask about your condition and symptoms. If needed, they can call in a prescription, order imaging, recommend a specialist, refer you to urgent care, or book a follow-up appointment at Bailey Health Center. After 11 p.m. you may be connected with a nurse who will advise on next steps.
  • The St. Luke’s team is available 365 days a year (weekends/holidays and during all breaks). However, the patient must be located in PA or NJ at the time of the virtual visit, due to Federal Telehealth laws. The patient must be located in a state where the provider is licensed. If a student goes home to California for example, they will need to seek care locally.

Fall Break/Winter Break/Spring Break

The Bailey Health Center will be open 9 a.m. to noon, close for lunch, and then reopen 1-4 p.m.

Summer

During the summer a nurse is available on a limited basis (9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday-Friday). There are no regularly scheduled physician hours.
