The Health Office oversees the health and medical needs for all students. The Health Office is staffed by an experienced full-time nurse, and a doctor visits bi-weekly. The nurse is always on call and, if necessary, the Residential Life staff will provide immediate transportation for the appropriate medical care.
Boarders should report promptly to the Health Office at 7:45 a.m. if they feel unwell during the school week. If a boarder feels ill after normal school hours, he should report immediately to a member of the Residential Life staff. Each floor has a first aid kit, which is under the direct supervision of the dorm parent on duty. Dorm Parents are CPR, AED, and First Aid certified. When necessary, they provide support and triage and are in constant communication with the school nurse regarding any health issues. In case of a serious emergency, we have a certified EMT living in the dorms.
All prescription medications are stored and administered by the school nurse on a daily basis. In addition, the Residential Life Staff is trained to distribute medication at night.
