Health Services offering COVID-19 support for University essential employees who do not have their own caregiver

Tuesday, April 14, 2020

This message was originally sent to employees by Dr. Clark Baldwin, University Medical Director, Health Services.


We want to ensure that our essential services employees are getting the COVID-19 health-related care they need during this difficult time.

If you do not have a primary health care provider, Health Services is offering support.

How to access Health Services

If you feel unwell with any influenza-like illness symptoms, please contact Occupational Health. You can email or call Linda Brogden on 519-888-4567 ext. 36264 or Karen Parkinson on 519-888-4567 ext. 30338.

They will make arrangements with Health Services to set up a telemedicine appointment with a Health Services clinician, or if necessary, an in-person appointment.

Please note that employees who are directed to visit Health Services in-person, they will be screened there by a Health Services Nurse and may be asked to wear a mask.

We will continue to take steps to ensure the health and wellness of our essential employees who are supporting the ongoing and safe operations of our campus.
