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 provide a full range of primary care services, ranging from sprained ankles, UTIs, and stomach bugs, to chronic conditions, mental health prescribing, and gender affirming care. We offer sexual health services, including contraception, menstrual management, STI testing and treatment, pregnancy testing and triage. We have face-to-face appointments with our PCP team, offer clinical advice over the phone, administer immunizations and do lab work, run afternoon urgent care clinics, STI screening clinics, and more.
There is no copay or charge for appointments with our nurses and providers. Here is more information about fees, coverage, and the Student Health Insurance Plan.
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 schedule an urgent care appointment on MyHealthConnection, or phone and ask to speak with our triage team.
Reach out via phone 413-538-2121 or email Health-Admin@mtholyoke.edu
When you are not feeling well, have questions about a medication, or need to speak to a nurse, call 413-538-2121 and select option #1.
Book appointments by phone (413-538-2121) or schedule online at MyHealthConnection.mtholyoke.edu.
If it looks like nothing is available, please call and speak with our reception staff -- urgent care appointments are reserved every weekday for unexpected medical needs.
Please review our Medical Excuse Policy. College Health Services does not provide written excuses (sick notes) for students who miss class or deadlines due to illness or injury, nor do we have the authority to “require” a faculty member to support medical recommendations.
We do not take walk-in appointments. We reserve appointments for same-day high-urgency issues, but we can serve you best when you call ahead to speak with our staff.
We're here to serve you.
On-call services are available when we are closed. Call 413-538-2121 and follow the prompts.
Primary Care
Bodies are complex and at Health Services, we aim to be your medical home away from home.
If you have concerns about your health, such as history of anemia, ongoing neck pain, increasing headaches, bloating or sensitive stomach, irregular or heavy periods, urinary symptoms, yeast infections, pain with sex, acne or rashes, lightheadedness -- your MHC PCP is your partner in evaluating and treating health concerns.
Primary Care

We also offer in-person appointments every weekday in our nurse urgent care clinic and with our medical providers. Appointments can be booked on MyHealthConnection 16 hours before the appointment time. If nothing appears available, please call. There are always reserved same-day appointments for high-acuity concerns.
Wellness & Prevention
If your job, internship, or study abroad program is requiring a physical exam/paperwork, please schedule an appointment and bring any paperwork or details.
We are also happy to provide preventative wellness visits. Unlike sick visits, these focus on maintaining health, updating vaccinations, and offering personalized health education. For young adults, these often include cervical cancer screening, STI screening, reviewing vaccines, discussing your family medical history.
