The Request order should also note any special conditions (i.e. deadline, dangerous materials, limited hours for access, etc.) The office is open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday and located in Barnard 105M. For emergencies after-hours notify Security, x43362, to contact the on-duty mechanic.

Students
A wide range of health services, including gynecology and primary care, is available to students through Barnard Student Health Services, open Mondays-Fridays from 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. About 7000 visits are made each year. Visit the website for much more information.
In the event of an urgent medical problem with a student during the time the service is open, call x42091 for immediate medical advice. If the problem appears to be life-threatening, contact Security (x88 or x43362, for ambulance transport) AND Health Services simultaneously. After hours, call 866-966-7788 for the clinician on call. Again, if the problem appears to be life-threatening, contact Security for immediate ambulance transport. Security can also assist you by contacting the clinician on call if you are unable to wait with the student for the return call. A student must have authorization from a Barnard clinician on-call to be sure an emergency room visit will be covered by student health insurance (any family insurance is activated as the primary coverage).
Faculty
With the exception of influenza vaccine, services are not available through the Student Health Service to faculty and staff. Depending on availability, influenza immunizations will be offered to faculty during the season, October to May at various locations.
In the event of a medical emergency involving faculty or staff, Security should be notified at x88 or at x43362. They will contact CAVA of NYC EMS if ambulance transport is needed. If there is no need for an ambulance, the person requiring assistance can be referred to the Emergency Department at St. Luke's Hospital, 114th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, (212) 523-3335; or to his/her own physician.
