Health Services
The Health Center, located on the ground floor of Spellman Hall, room G15, is serviced by physicians who specialize in adolescent medicine, as well as a highly qualified nursing staff. In addition, the staff provides gynecological services, men’s health services, and other support services. The Health center is open on weekdays, evenings, and on Saturday afternoon. Health services are not available on Sundays, holidays or during vacation periods. Some members of security are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and are trained to handle health emergencies when the Health Center is closed.
The Health Center is responsible for providing for the health needs of the students. Its mission is to enhance the educational process by modifying or removing health barriers to learning, promoting optimal wellness, helping students make informed decisions, and assisting the student to be a self directed and good consumer of health care.
All full-time, registered undergraduate and English Language Institute students may use the Health Center free of charge. Students with special health problems or concerns and disabled students are encouraged to advise the Health Center of any health problems or special needs prior to arrival on campus; the staff may offer recommendations and/or arrange special accommodations which may make their residential and academic adjustments easier.
A completed physical examination form and immunization form containing proof of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella as specified by NYS Public Health Law #2165, and signed by the private physician are required at the time of admission to the College. For newly entering students, these forms are due in the Health Center before the start of classes. These forms are confidential and must be on file in the Health Center before registration or residence life may take place. Health evaluations by other health care providers may be required thereafter at the discretion of the College physician. Manhattanville College holds a membership in the Downstate College Health Association, the New York Health Association and the American College Health Association.
