Student Health Services:

In the summer the health center offers care for acute illnesses and injuries.  We also offer some travel immunizations for Middlebury College undergraduate students and referrals to medical resources in the community. Prior to starting the summer program, we strongly encourage you to see your primary care physician for chronic or long-term health concerns.  We also recommend you bring your prescription medications with you, and if possible, an adequate supply to last through the summer.

Please note:  Middlebury College offers allergy shots to our current undergraduate students. 

The summer program can be intensive and stressful.  If you have a history of or are now experiencing stress-related physical or emotional symptoms such as headaches, stomachaches, sleep disturbances, significant anxiety or depression, please consult your personal health care provider before arriving on campus.  Parton Health Center and the Center for Counseling and Human Relations are available to assist you this summer if you experience any stress-related problems. 

If you have or anticipate special health needs, please contact Parton Health Center before May 25 or when we open on June 16.  Our telephone number is:  802-443-5135.

Care After-Hours:

When Parton Health Center is closed, students may go directly to the Emergency Department at Porter Hospital in Middlebury.  The hospital is located less than two miles from campus. 

SERIOUS MEDICAL EMERGENCIES need immediate attention by calling 911. 

Psychological Counseling:

For information regarding psychological support at Middlebury College, please visit the Center for Counseling and Human Relations web site at:  www.middlebury.edu/campuslife/services/cchr 

Accident Insurance:

Middlebury College provides accident insurance for students while they are enrolled in the summer session.  Please refer to the 2008 Student Handbook for more specific details regarding insurance coverage.
