The Wellness Center, centrally located on campus in the Livingston Hall Student Union, is open Monday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when school is in session. The Wellness Center team is dedicated to helping students improve their physical and mental health.
Our Health Services staff includes registered nurses with extensive experience working with adolescents. We are available to discuss concerns, no matter how minor, and will assist you in caring for your health.
The Wellness Center encourages students to make appointments to see a nurse; however, for medical concerns requiring immediate attention (i.e.: an acute injury), students can go directly to the Wellness Center during business hours.
All medication pick-ups and non-urgent health needs will be scheduled according to nurse availability and student’s academic schedules.
To schedule an appointment to see a nurse, the student can call: 413-528-7353 or email wellnesscenter@simons-rock.edu.
