WHAT TO DO AFTER HOURS:

Tufts Health Service has physicians on-call when the Health Service is closed, including Sundays. If you have an urgent medical concern, that cannot wait until we are open, you can reach the physician on-call by calling the Tufts Police at 617-627-3030 and asking them to page the physician on-call. You will not be asked your name or your reason for calling. Simply tell the police that you want the physician on-call to call you and at what number. The physician on-call only gives phone advice-they do not make house calls or examine you while the Health Service is closed. If you are seriously ill and wish to be examined after hours, please go to the emergency room of the Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Medford or another local Hospital.

If you are having a mental health emergency, and want to talk with someone, call the Tufts Police at 617-627-3030 and state that you would like to speak with the counselor on-call. The police will not ask you anything about the nature of your concern. They will simply ask for a number that the counselor can reach you at, and what first name the counselor should ask for.

Physicians are on-call only when school is in session.
