Student Health Services
Student Health Services is a licensed, outpatient clinic attending to the immediate primary health needs of all matriculated Connecticut College students. Our purpose is to help students maintain optimal general health through the disciplines of physical and mental health, and health education around lifestyle choices. This is accomplished through a full-time staff and a variety of professional consultants in many disciplines. All professional services are delivered with attention to confidentiality. In the event of a serious illness or injury, parents or guardian will be notified at the discretion of the staff.
All students at Connecticut College are required to have health insurance. However, for most sick visits, students do not incur a fee.
We offer the following services whenever the College is in session (hours):
Urgent and primary care (including GYN) visits with Nurse practitioners MD appointments on site Full-time nursing staff Prescription delivery from a local pharmacy Specialist referrals Immunizations and allergy injections Health promotion programs and information Routine laboratory tests on site A limited number of common medications without added charge Travel immunizations and information Substance abuse counseling HIV counseling and testing Sexually transmitted infection screening and treatment Contraceptive counseling with a full range of options available on site Emergency contraception (EC). For further information on EC you may look at http://www.not-2-late.com/
During the academic year, students may also contact the 24-Hour Toll-Free Health Line.
Although housed in the same building, Student Health Services is separate from the Student Counseling Services and maintains separate records. Counseling Services provides mental health evaluation, short-term treatment and crisis intervention, and referrals for mental health.
