Introducing TimelyCare:

New 24/7 Virtual Healthcare for Students


Dear Seawolf Families, 


We are very excited to share that Stony Brook University has launched a new 24/7 virtual health, counseling, and wellness service for all undergraduate and graduate students. This new service is called TimelyCare, and it provides access to around-the-clock virtual medical and mental health care at no additional cost, including scheduling appointments with licensed providers at times convenient for students, including evenings and weekends.


TimelyCare complements our existing health, wellness and prevention offerings from Student Health Services, Counseling and Psychological Services, Center for Prevention and Outreach and Recreation and Wellness, and is included as part of the Health and Counseling broad based fee.


We have shared this important news with your student, but we want to be sure you are aware of it too, so you can remind them to take advantage of the services when they’re feeling under the weather, stressed, or overwhelmed.


Thank you for connecting with your student and encouraging them to utilize TimelyCare. For more information, please visit stonybrook.edu/timelycare.
