UH Go – Campus Health Navigation & Alerts

What is UH Go?

UH Go is a free mobile application created by the University Health System. It is designed to make it easier for members of the university community to locate health‑related services on campus, stay up‑to‑date with important announcements, and access practical information such as cafeteria menus.

Main features

• Turn‑by‑turn navigation – Built‑in maps guide you to clinics, urgent‑care centers, and other health facilities on campus.
• Location finder – Quickly see the nearest urgent‑care or emergency location based on your current position.
• Real‑time alerts – Receive push notifications about construction, service changes, or health‑related news that could affect your visit.
• Cafeteria menus – Browse daily food options at campus dining locations, helping you plan meals around appointments.
• Virtual triage information – Access basic guidance on symptoms and recommended next steps before you arrive at a clinic.

How it works

After installing the app, you grant permission for location services. The app then displays a map of the university’s health facilities. Selecting a destination launches turn‑by‑turn directions that update as you move. The notification center aggregates announcements from the health system, and a dedicated tab lists current cafeteria menus. All content is refreshed automatically when you have an internet connection.

Practical uses

• Find the quickest route to a vaccination clinic during flu season.
• Check whether a construction project has closed a particular entrance before heading out.
• Plan a lunch break around a scheduled appointment by viewing the cafeteria’s menu.
• Stay informed about urgent health alerts, such as campus‑wide testing events.

Installation information

UH Go is available through the Google Play Store. Search for the exact name or the package identifier com.universityhealthsystem.go. Tap “Install” and follow the on‑screen prompts. The app requires Android devices with location services enabled; no additional hardware is needed.

Things to know before installing
