            TimelyCare

            TimelyCare is one of several resources offered by Cal Poly Humboldt’s Student Health & Wellbeing Services (SHWS). SHWS will remain the primary healthcare touchpoint for students and will coordinate care and make referrals to TimelyCare as appropriate. At the same time, the addition of TimelyCare means Humboldt students have access to on-demand after-hours care in all 50 states, a service that’s especially beneficial for those who live in remote areas with limited healthcare options.

            Using the TimelyCare app from a phone or desktop, students can choose virtual care options from licensed physicians and counselors with diverse backgrounds in all 50 states at no cost. Provider profiles and details of their specialties are available as well. Students can select a specific provider or the first available appointment. Services include:

            • Medical care (on-demand and appointment-based)
            • Mental health counseling (on-demand and appointment-based)
            • Psychiatric support (upon internal referral)
            • Health coaching
