Sarah Lawrence Health & Wellness Center provides compassionate, informative, and confidential care for students’ medical and psychological health concerns. Appointments are available to all registered students on the Bronxville Campus (UG and GR).

Medical Services

The medical staff consists of nurse practitioners and registered nurses who deliver high-quality student-centered healthcare. We accomplish this through providing health education and awareness that will encourage students to advocate for their health and actively participate in their plan of care. Our nurse practitioners provide primary care services to diagnose and treat acute infections, acute illnesses, minor injuries, as well as concerns pertaining to sexual and reproductive health. Medical visits are of no charge. However, students can access laboratory services, medical supplies, and some prescribed medications on-site at time of visit for a nominal fee. Our nurse practitioners write prescriptions to treat diagnosed illnesses and can renew non-psychotropic medications when appropriate.

Psychological Services

The staff includes licensed mental-health professionals with training and experience working with undergraduate and graduate students. Brief solution-oriented individual therapy and ongoing group therapy and workshop options are available to all students at the College regardless of health insurance. Common student concerns treated by our staff include depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, as well as other presenting concerns within the scope of practice of a college counseling center; please see our MySLC page for the scope of practice in the center. Short-term medication management can be supported for some presenting mental health concerns through a telehealth vendor; the center does not have a prescriber on-site. Long-term medication management needs are referred to local community providers.

In addition to on-site services, the Sarah Lawrence College Health & Wellness Center offers ConnectNow 1-833-589-0153 to all enrolled students for immediate, in-the-moment, emotional support, 24/7, at no cost to the student.

Case Manager

A Health & Wellness Case Manager is able to facilitate referrals for students who seek care off campus, who need support for long-term or chronic medical or psychological health issues, or who need care beyond the scope of practice of the Center.

Appointments

The Health & Wellness Center is located in Lyles House, near the Westlands Gate, at Mead Way and Boulder Trail. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed 12–1 p.m. daily) when College classes are in session. Appointments for medical and psychological services may be made online at my.slc.edu/patientportal or by calling the office at 914.395.2350.

No-Show/Late Arrival Policy

There is a $15 no-show fee for Medical and Psychological Services appointments. If you need to cancel your appointment, you must do so—via the online patient portal or by phone at 914.395.2350—by 9 p.m. the night prior to your scheduled appointment. If you do not cancel by 9 p.m. the night prior, or if you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your scheduled appointment, the $15 no-show fee will be charged directly to your student account.

Medical Absence From the College

Emergency contacts of students, as well as the dean of studies, will be notified when a student is separated from the College. Any illness that requires absence from the College should be reported immediately to the Health & Wellness Center. Students are responsible for notifying parents or guardians about any nonemergent personal health problems. Absence from class because of illness should be reported by the student directly to the professor; documentation is not provided by the Health & Wellness Center for missed classes.
