TIMELYCARE
TimelyCare recently streamlined its registration for faster service. Now, medical questions are only asked the first time a user seeks a medical or scheduled counseling visit instead of during registration.

While students are encouraged to visit University Health Services (UHS) and the University Counseling Center (UCC) during business hours, TimelyCare is an additional service that provides after-hours access to medical care and 24/7 access to mental telehealth care across the United States, with no cost at the time of your visit. Medical, TalkNow, and scheduled counseling are all available to students.

TimelyCare’s goal is to help students begin health and well-being conversations earlier, get treated faster, and ensure student healthcare is positively impacting student engagement and retention. Click here to get started. Use your Notre Dame email address to register.

University Health Services (UHS)

TRAVELING ABROAD?
It’s that time of the year, and many programs are beginning to plan for students who are traveling abroad. UHS is here to accommodate and provide your travel physical along with any vaccines that may be required by the country you are visiting. As we offer a limited number of appointments for physicals, we highly recommend that you schedule your appointment at least two months prior to traveling. There is a fee for this service. Please contact UHS at (574) 631-7494 for assistance.

SPRING FORWARD BY EXERCISING OUTSIDE
As days become longer and warmer, many of us like to take our exercise outdoors. Keep these tips in mind as you start to exercise outside:

- Make sure you’re prepared for the exercise you’re planning to do. If you decide to go for a run, but you haven’t trained in some time, your first few runs should be shorter and slower. As your legs and body begin to feel acclimated, you can increase your distance and pace with each run.
- Save more challenging workouts and activities for when you feel you’re in better shape. Before trying a new workout or activity, take on more mild to moderate activities so your body is prepared for the new challenge.
- Dress in layers to help keep you from getting overheated or feeling too cold because spring weather can change quickly.
- Enjoy the many benefits that outdoor exercise provides for our bodies and minds!
