COVID-19 Testing
We're screening for COVID-19 throughout our clinics. And we're testing all patients staying at the hospital and anyone with coronavirus symptoms. Find out what this means for you.
COVID Vaccination
It’s easy to get the free COVID vaccine. Anyone 12 and over qualifies. You don’t have to be a current patient or even live in the area. Schedule an appointment online to get your first dose.
Visitor Restrictions
For the health and safety of our patients and team members, we've restricted visitation. If you have a surgery or appointment, review our current visitation guidelines before you come.

While we're open for in-person appointments, you can also get virtual care from the convenience of your home, or wherever you are in Virginia. You can schedule a virtual visit with your clinic or get immediate care from a UVA provider, Monday - Friday, 12 - 2 p.m.
