exams and pap smear tests are performed here. If you wish to transfer
your care here to the Health Center, please have your private
physician send copies of your most recent pap smear test and
gynecological exam to

Q.
My partner is not a Hopkins student. Where can she get emergency
contraception?
The
staff at the Health and Wellness Center cannot legally prescribe
emergency contraception to non-Hopkins students. We do, however, want
to facilitate your access to those individuals or organizations who
can.
The
most readily accessible source is Planned Parenthood of Maryland.
Their toll free hotline is 1-877-99-GO-4-EC. This
hotline is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Their staff can
refer you to the closest Planned Parenthood location, and they can
provide you with general information about emergency contraception. In
addition, you can speak to a trained staff clinician about getting
emergency contraception through an over-the-phone prescription that is
picked up at a nearby pharmacy or at a Planned Parenthood near you.
(This service involves a consultation fee.)

closest Planned Parenthood locations to the Homewood campus:

If
for any reason, you cannot access the Planned Parenthood hotline, you
can go to the Not-2-Late.com
website. This site lists websites and local providers which offer
emergency contraception.
