At Rockhurst, we are committed to our students’ well-being, both in and out of the classroom. We are excited to announce that the Saint Luke's Urgent Care is now open and is located in the North Parking Garage  (5151 Troost, Suite 200 Kansas City, MO 64110; 816-502-9130). You do not need to be a Saint Luke’s patient to see a provider at Saint Luke’s Urgent Care. Upon your request, we will share the details of your visit with your primary care provider. If you need a follow-up visit with a physician, we can provide a referral for you.

Another resource is Goppert Trinity Family Care (6675 Holmes Road, Unit 360, Kansas City, MO 64131; 816-276-7600) is located directly just two miles south of our Troost campus by car or bus – and they take a wide range of health insurances (please verify when you make your appointment).  In fact, students who have the Rockhurst University sponsored student health insurance plan have the plan-covered services there done with no deductible and no co-pay.  Also, in these COVID times, people are encouraged to consider using the virtual apps offered by many health insurance companies and related providers, including Blue KC’s Virtual Care as well as Saint Luke’s Health System
