Students:
The UVM Center for Health and Wellbeing, housed in seven sites around campus, is committed to providing students with the highest quality care available in the areas of medicine, nutrition, counseling, psychiatry and athletic medicine. In addition, we offer a large variety of educational and outreach programming designed to provide you with the information you need to make smart decisions about taking care of yourself. We are uniformly committed to providing students with respectful and confidential health care and counseling in a safe, supportive environment that values the identities, beliefs and abilities of each person. We continually hold ourselves accountable to our goal of being responsive to the needs and concerns of everyone who seeks care—to be sensitive to the diverse identities of our patients and knowledgeable about the concerns specific to these identities.
