TimelyCare Telehealth Services for Students

Free Telehealth Services


DVC is excited to offer a telehealth program for students called TimelyCare. This FREE service provides access to 24/7 medical and mental telehealth. Get on-demand support from counselors, doctors, nurse practitioners, and more, right at your fingertips!

I’ve gone to the food pantry to get food for myself and my family. It’s a big help for me financially. And I’ve used TimelyCare when I or my children have had an urgent concern. We were seen, diagnosed and treated right away.
