Established in 1995, the University of Washington (UW) Travel Clinic at Hall Health Center provides comprehensive travel health services to staff, faculty and students of the UW, as well as the general public. We provide travel medicine advice to all ages, including children. Our clinic is staffed by physicians and nurse practitioners certified as travel providers by the International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM).

Pre-Travel Consultations

We recommend scheduling an initial travel consultation at least 4-6 weeks before departure. However, we will meet your travel health needs as completely as the time we have allows.

  • Please call 206-685-1060 to schedule a travel appointment.
  • In addition, Hall Health Center has an on-site pharmacy and immunization clinic to provide all of your vaccines and prescriptions on the day of your visit.

Post-Travel Consultations

In spite of the best planning and preventive measures, accidents and illnesses can happen when traveling. Hall Health Center offers comprehensive medical care for the returned traveler. We evaluate UW students, faculty/staff and established patients at Hall Health Center.

  • Please call 206-616-2495 to schedule a post-travel evaluation.
  • If you have never been seen at Hall Health Center, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with your primary care provider.

For chronic, travel related infections, we suggest a consultation with the Infectious Disease Specialty Clinic at UWMC: 206-598-4615 or Harborview Medical Center: 206-731-5100. This consultation requires a physician referral and a medical record review prior to scheduling an appointment.
