Succeeding academically starts with staying well.

Health Services office

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. 

For after hours care:

No need to go home for your physical - we can take care of that for you right here! Appointments are required, and students will be charged $50 for the visit.

We offer Tdap (Tetanus and Pertussis), Td (Tetanus), PPD (for tuberculosis), and influenza vaccinations. Student accounts are charged a nominal fee for the vaccinations:

Tdap/Td: $40

Influenza (flu): $15 (seasonal)

We also offer allergy injections for students who require them.

Our office can also help you obtain over-the-counter and prescription medications as needed. Over-the-counter medications are free of charge, while students will be charged a nominal fee for prescription medications.

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.
