Adult Primary Care

HUHS is committed to providing each patient with complete, coordinated health care through a working relationship with a particular Primary Care team, comprised of a primary care physician (PCP), nurse practitioner, registered nurses, and health assistants.  Our teams work closely with patients to provide high-quality outpatient healthcare services in a friendly, comfortable atmosphere.

our Primary Care teams
At HUHS we are committed to providing each patient with complete, coordinated health care through a relationship with a particular Primary Care team.  This clinical team will assist you with all of your health care needs throughout your time at Harvard.  Our Primary Care team members also help to coordinate any necessary specialty services both at HUHS and in the Cambridge/Boston area.

• Those with chronic medical conditions are advised to establish a relationship with the Primary Care team early in the academic year. It will be helpful to provide copies of medical records of health care received at other facilities.
• How Our Primary Care Teams Work

Your Primary Care Physician

• You are encouraged to choose a primary care physician (PCP) early in the first term if one has not already been assigned (as with new students). 
• You may choose a PCP online, or contact Member Services with your selection. 
• You may change your PCP selection at any time for any reason.

Making an Appointment

What To Do In Case Of Emergency

• If you are experiencing symptoms of a medical emergency (e.g., chest pain, severe shortness of breath) call 9-1-1 immediately (9-911 from a campus phone).  
• We provide urgent care during regular clinic hours. Let the receptionist know that you have an urgent matter; he or she will connect you with either the triage nurse, or with one of the clinicians.
• After-hours and weekend care for non-routine, urgent medical concerns or symptoms is available through the After Hours Urgent Care Clinic.
