Allergies or a cold slowing you down?

Posted on by

A hands-on virtual visit allows the healthcare provider on the video call to see inside your ears, throat and more to make a diagnosis.

It’s allergy season, did you know that you can get care for minor illnesses from Atrium Health, without leaving campus?

Appointments for the Atrium Health community-based virtual clinic can be made a day in advance and you can often get care the SAME day! The clinic is open at Central Campus, Monday- Friday, 8 a.m.- 4p.m.

More than a standard video visit, in-person support staff use special technology to help the healthcare provider look in your ears or throat, check your temperature, take your blood pressure, and more. The healthcare provider can then give you a diagnosis or send in prescriptions as needed. If your condition isn’t contagious, you can get back to your day with little interruption, without taking time away from school or work.

Kinds of illnesses they treat:

  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Coughs and colds
  • COVID-19 assessments
  • Ear pain
  • Female urinary tract infection
  • Fever
  • Flu symptoms
  • Headache
  • Pink eye
