HRMS will be offline this weekend for system maintenance
University flags on the Eastman Quadrangle and near the entrance of Strong Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Department will be lowered on Thursday, October 10, for Jovitas Skucas, a professor emeritus of imaging sciences, who died on August 31. Skucas joined the University faculty in 1973.
University Health Service (UHS) is currently experiencing a primary care provider shortage, with students experiencing a longer than usual wait time for appointments. UHS is exploring options to remedy the shortage and appreciates everyone’s patience and understanding. Visit the UHS website for guidance and self-care options, or call (585) 275-2662 to speak with a nurse or after-hours on-call provider for urgent care issues. Students are also asked to cancel 24 hours in advance any scheduled appointments that are no longer necessary. UHS strives to provide high-quality care and refers patients to urgent care centers and the emergency department as needed.
