Downtown Urgent Care serves hundreds of students annually, and hence functions as an independent SHC. Please note however, that as we are not recipients of any kind of fund-maintainence or grant-assistance, you will need health insurance or another form of payment in order to be seen.
Medical and Mental Health Treatment
In a life- or limb-threatening emergency, dial 911 to reach St. Louis Emergency Medical Services.
For a suspected STD evaluation and treatment, please register online and visit when convenient.
For urgent mental health needs when SHC is closed, visit one of the listed Emergency Departments. These are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and are dedicated to assisting students with crisis - including counseling, hospital transport, coordination of care, and follow-up.
If you have been sexually assaulted, we strongly encourage you to obtain help from a professional counselor as soon as you are ready by visiting [or calling] the Emergency Department. You don’t have to give your name if you prefer to remain anonymous. For more information on what to do if you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, visit www.
