Student Health Services is open Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. If you are ill or injured on weeknights, weekends or holidays it’s important to know where to go for after-hours medical care.
Here’s a quick guide to help you get the care you need based on the severity of your condition:
If you need to call 911 for a serious, life-threatening condition like severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, significant head injury, or loss of consciousness, you will be transported to the nearest hospital. Sturdy Memorial is the closest hospital to campus with a 24/7 emergency department.

Sturdy Health Primary Care–Norton is closed on weekdays and weekends after 4:30. If you need medical care after hours, call the answering service at 508-285-9500 and identify yourself as a Wheaton student. They will advise you on the best options for care and whether your concern requires immediate attention or can wait until the primary care office opens the next morning.
