Staying healthy is crucial for your ongoing success in college. As a Babson student, you’ll have easy access to services designed to promote your wellbeing and safety so that you can do well inside the classroom and have fun outside the classroom.
Are you an admitted student? On the Health Services website, you will find information about your insurance requirements, forms, and deadlines, contact information for our offices, and more about how our services support our students.
While on campus, you can schedule appointments with Babson’s highly skilled and caring team of healthcare providers, including registered nurses, a consulting physician, a nutritionist, and nurse practitioners.
Our nurse practitioners are licensed to diagnose and treat illnesses, prescribe medication, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and provide health counseling and education.
All visits to Health Services and conversations with staff are confidential. Your written permission must be obtained before staff will give information to anyone not directly connected with your care, including parents and college officials. We are, however, required by law to report life-threatening situations and certain communicable diseases to the Public Health Department.
Our campus culture places an emphasis on primary prevention practices and informed decision making to help reduce the need for intervention or treatment. Wellness and prevention services, like sexual health promotion and alcohol and other drug services, are designed to support that goal.
Peers On Wellness (POW) is a student leadership program devoted to promoting health and educating fellow Babson students on a range of wellness topics. POWs are fellow Babson students who are advised by the Wellness & Prevention Services staff. They offer several programs throughout the year designed to help you prioritize your personal health and wellness so you can successfully achieve all your goals.
Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Services (SAPRS) offers empowerment-based and trauma-informed violence prevention and intervention services for Babson students. Get free and confidential consultations by appointment or during walk-in hours. You can use consultations to seek support or referrals and/or discuss concerns for friends, partners, and family members.
A comprehensive, culturally inclusive, evidence-based program, Sexual Health Promotion at Babson offers a range of services, including free-of-charge safer sex supplies for students available in mulitple locations around campus. If you’re sexually active, you also have the option to get tested for sexually trasmitted infections. Health Services also can discuss and prescribe contraceptives, such as oral contraceptives (birth control pill).
Dedicated to reducing the negative consequences associated with high-risk drinking and other forms of substance misuse, Alcohol and Other Drug Services (AODS) offers a range of services, including free and confidential consultations by appointment. AODS supports all students, including Babson’s non-drinker community and students in recovery from substances.
