Student Life: COVID-19 Response FAQs

  • Will I have access to the Wellness Center?

    Guidelines from the Nurses: 

    If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911. If you have any questions or inquiries for the Health Center please email Tammy Lippincott at tml4@desales.edu or call 610-282-1100, ext. 1776. Please leave a message and your call will be returned as soon as possible.

    For COVID-19 inquiries, you can call the St. Luke’s University Health Network hotline at 1-866-785-8537, and choose option #7 or call the Lehigh Valley Health Network hotline at 1-888-402-LVHN

    If you are experiencing symptoms, you must call your family physician first. DO NOT WALK INTO EMERGENCY ROOM/DOCTOR’S OFFICE WITHOUT CALLING FIRST.

    When calling 911, please do not withhold any information. EMS will still respond to all calls and the correct information will help crews prepare and use proper protection for themselves and the receiving hospital.

    Guidelines from the Counselors: 

    If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911 or your local crisis intervention hotline.

    We understand that this is may be a stressful and anxiety-producing time for students for so many different reasons. The Counseling Center is available to speak with any students (you do not need to be an already existing counseling center client) remotely via telephone or Zoom. Any student (undergraduate or graduate) who has an interest in setting up a session, please click on the “set up a remote consultation” box below.

    During this closure we also highly encourage students to access mental health services available at home.
