The College recognizes health maintenance and promotion as essential to both learning and efficiency. Good health in all respects is a determining factor in the academic success of students attending college. In support of these goals, the Welty Center Student Health Services, located at 11 Merriam Street, offers students convenient primary health care.

Our goal is to provide a therapeutic environment that, by caring for the whole person, contributes to the College’s overall academic mission. We combine high-quality health care with the warmth of a home away from home.

We are staffed both night and day with professional and qualified nurses who operate under written protocols from the Medical Director (G. Tom Underhill, M.D.).

Each weekday morning, between 8 and 10 a.m., a physician is available free of charge for consultation and examination. Appointments are not necessary; however, pre-arrangement is recommended for full physical exams for which there is a charge. Full physical exams are done on a time-available basis. The director of the health center, a family nurse practitioner, is available on an appointment basis for patient examination and consultation (and physical exams) between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. In addition, physician consultation is available in the event of a serious illness, accident or emergency care.

The Health Center staff welcomes visitors and hopes both students and parents will stop by and get acquainted with us and our services.
