College Health Services

Your medical home at MoHome.

Here at Mount Holyoke College Health Services, we aim to be the medical home away from home for all our students and to promote community wellness and health equity for our campus community.

We offer a full range of primary care services, including illness & injury treatment, chronic condition management, and wellness visits. We practice using a continuity model; each student is assigned an MHC PCP – primary campus provider. While the College requires all students to carry health insurance, there is no “health fee.” All current MHC students are eligible to use Health Services regardless of insurance carrier.

All clinical visits are by appointment only. We do not accept walk-ins.

If you feel unwell and think you need an “urgent care” visit, please phone and ask to speak with our triage team who can help coordinate a timely evaluation.

Students can schedule appointments through the patient portal, My Health Connection. Routine appointments can be scheduled with your primary campus provider up to a month in advance; urgent care appointments will open the night before for next-day scheduling. If having problems, or the portal scheduling seems not to work, please call our front desk at 413-538-2121.

More information can be found on the college website.
