Health Center
The
Thomas Health Center is located on the first floor of Grant Hall
with hours available to both residential and commuter students. Health Center services include
treatment services for the acute care of common medical health
problems of young adults, follow-up care to medical treatment,
and referrals. A health care professional works with students and pays
close attention to their physical, psychological, and
preventative care needs and is able to diagnose, treat, and
provide prescriptions for most problems. Students with certain emotional or psychological issues are referred to a
counselor best suited for the situation.

The Health Center emphasizes
important features such as heath education and campus outreach
components focused on medical, psychological, and social aspects
of healthier lifestyles; preventive immunization, tuberculosis
screening; student participation in planning and reviewing
prevention, health education, flu vaccinations, and quality
treatment services for the acute care of common medical health
problems of young adults including women’s health issues, sports
related injuries and follow-up care to medical treatment.
To better enable the Health Center to
provide appropriate medical care, it's important that the
completed physical history and immunization forms are filed with
the Health Center by the end of August. This should
include notice of any allergies or special information needed to
best meet the health needs of the student. Please note that all
students are required by Maine State Law to provide the College
with a complete immunization history record before being allowed
to register or attend classes.
