Health Services

The health of our students is one of Peddie’s highest priorities. When illness and injury occur, our full-time campus physician and a team of registered nurses are ready to provide comprehensive care. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Hensle Health Center is equipped to handle a variety of medical situations. The center houses two exam rooms and eight beds, ensuring that students receive the observation and care they need. When necessary, students may remain overnight under the care of our dedicated nurses, ensuring continuous support and monitoring.

A nurse dispenses all medications, whether prescription or over-the-counter, to students. Our team of healthcare professionals, including the doctor, nurses and athletic trainers, work in concert to manage a wide range of health service needs. This collaborative approach includes maintaining electronic medical records, providing concussion care and conducting baseline testing. These measures ensure that our students receive the highest standard of care and that their health is closely monitored and managed.

Adjacent to the Hensle Health Center, the Yu Center for Student Support provides additional resources aimed at student well-being. The center offers counseling and academic support, ensuring that students have access to comprehensive health and wellness services. Three full-time psychologists and counselors are available to provide intervention and support, addressing the mental health needs of our students. The integration of physical and mental health services ensures a holistic approach to student wellness.
