The Welty Student Health Center staff extends a warm and healthy welcome to all incoming students. We are here to offer assistance with your health care needs and concerns during your academic years at Whitman College. The Welty Student Health Center is staffed by registered nurses, who are available for consult and nursing care. Medical providers are on site each weekday for medical evaluation and treatment.

In order for us to provide the most effective health service, it is essential that all new students complete the following tasks by Aug. 15:

    • Have you ever had a positive tuberculosis skin or blood test?
    • Were you born in or had frequent prolonged visits to any of these continents? Central America, South America, Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia
    • Have you been vaccinated with BCG vaccine? This is a tuberculosis vaccine given routinely in countries outside the USA.

Health and Accident Insurance: Whitman College believes health and accident insurance is extremely important for all students. It is the college’s expectations that students have personal health insurance. If you are an international student, the college will provide a plan for you and charge it to your student account. The health center is open to all degree-seeking students regardless of what type of insurance you have.
