Pat Walker Health Center is open to serve University of Arkansas students, faculty and staff.
To prevent the spread of illness, we have separated well and sick patients and are limiting the number of patients in our clinics at one time. Exam rooms are disinfected after each patient and we are frequently disinfecting the clinic throughout the day and deep cleaning the clinic regularly. We encourage patients to access our telehealth services to help support social distancing measures and limit possible exposure to COVID-19.
Health Center Hours of Operation: Monday through Thursday 9 AM to 3PM & Friday 9 AM to Noon (CAPS available until 5PM).
