When your child is studying away from home — especially in another state or country — their health and wellbeing matter just as much as their education. But navigating healthcare from afar can feel stressful, confusing, and out of your control.
Wellnus Clinic provides 100% virtual primary care by phone and video, offering students reliable medical support — and giving parents peace of mind, even when you’re miles away.
Care That Supports Students — and Keeps Parents Informed
College and university students are often managing healthcare independently for the first time. For international students or those far from family, this can be especially challenging.
At Wellnus, we offer a model that prioritizes communication, continuity, and transparency.
With the student’s explicit consent, we can:
-
Include parents or guardians in group phone or video visits
-
Help families discuss symptoms, treatment plans, and next steps together
-
Ensure everyone understands medications, follow-ups, and care decisions
This collaborative approach helps students feel supported while respecting their independence and privacy.
A Dedicated Primary Care Physician Your Child Can Rely On
Wellnus is not an urgent care platform or call center. Each student member has access to a licensed primary care physician who:
-
Knows their medical history
-
Provides ongoing guidance and follow-up
-
Builds a trusted, long-term relationship over the school year
This continuity is especially valuable when parents are not physically nearby to help advocate or interpret care.
Simple, Predictable Healthcare — No Surprises
Healthcare costs in the U.S. can be difficult to navigate, especially for families unfamiliar with the system.
Wellnus offers:
-
One simple annual membership fee
-
Unlimited phone and video visits
-
No per-visit charges
-
No insurance required
This allows parents to plan ahead, knowing their child can access care whenever needed — without worrying about unexpected bills.
Medication Prescriptions, Explained Clearly
When medically appropriate, Wellnus physicians can prescribe medications during virtual visits.
With student consent, parents can:
-
Participate in discussions about prescribed medications
-
Understand why a medication was chosen and how it should be taken
-
Ask questions during group calls for clarity and reassurance
Prescriptions are sent electronically to a local pharmacy near the student.
How Care Works at Wellnus
1. Enroll in a Membership
Your child enrolls in a Wellnus membership, gaining year-long access to virtual primary care.
2. Schedule an Appointment
Students can easily book appointments for new concerns, follow-ups, or preventive care.
3. Join a Phone or Video Visit
At the scheduled time, the student connects with their physician via secure phone or video. With consent, parents or guardians can join the visit from anywhere in the world.
When Virtual Care Is the Right Choice
Virtual care is ideal for:
-
Common illnesses (cold, flu, infections)
-
Stress, anxiety, and mental health check-ins
-
Chronic condition management
-
Preventive care and wellness guidance
-
Medication questions and follow-ups
For medical emergencies — such as chest pain, trouble breathing, or serious injury — students should seek immediate emergency care by calling 911 or going to the nearest emergency department.
Supporting Students While They Learn to Advocate for Themselves
Our goal is not to replace parental support — but to extend it thoughtfully, while helping students gain confidence in managing their own health.
By offering collaborative visits and clear communication, Wellnus helps families stay connected, informed, and reassured — no matter where life or education takes them.
Healthcare That Travels With Your Child
Whether your child is studying across the state or across the world, Wellnus Clinic provides consistent, compassionate care — and a trusted medical partner for both students and parents.
Because peace of mind matters, even from afar.
