Health Services
Succeeding academically starts with staying well.
Not feeling well can be scary and frustrating, especially when you’re away from home. When all you want is to curl up in bed with a bowl of homemade chicken soup, let us help you get well.
The Mount’s Health Services Office is here to help you get better and stay well. We offer a number of services for our students’ health management as well as hold events throughout the year that promote wellness and healthy living.
Appointments are highly encouraged, however, we do accept walk-ins.
Freshmen and Transfer Student Immunization requirements
All immunization and health forms
New York State Public Health Law requires all students to show proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella AND provide documentation of meningitis vaccination or waiver. Any student who has not complied with these above requirements 30 days from the first day of class will be dismissed. MSMC requires all full-time undergraduates to submit a current physical and fill out online health history forms with tuberculosis screening questionnaire.
Information about NYS immunization requirements can be found here.
Please go to the student health portal to upload and submit all health documentation and requirements. Click here for instructions.
Our Services
Please note that all services received are confidential. Students may choose to disclose their health visits to their families, but we cannot release any health information to anyone without a student’s written permission.
Got a minor injury or feel unwell? Stop by the Health Services Office, and our team will be happy to see you for evaluation and treatment. Reasons for visiting include sore throat, runny nose, pink eye, allergies, common cold, fever, sprains, soreness, and more. Visits are free of charge. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome.

Well-Knights Podcast

Need a place to relax? Book some time in our stress-less room, featuring a massage chair, soft lighting, and meditative music.
If students need long-term or additional care that we cannot provide (ie. x-rays, surgery, long-term interventions), then we will refer you to an off-campus provider, which will be charged through your health insurance.
