UHS occupational health services are offered at the UHS Building on River Campus, 738 Library Road, 2nd floor.

Stop at the Information Booth on Wilson Boulevard, corner of Elmwood Avenue. The Information Booth Attendant will give you a Dash Pass to put on your dashboard while parking in a designated UHS parking spot in the Library Lot.

Proceed straight on Wilson Boulevard, turn right on Library Road.

Continue to the top of the road, at the 2nd stop sign, turn left onto Intercampus Drive. Proceed a few yards, turn left into the Library Lot parking lot.
