At KUA, health services are central to the student experience. Through our proactive programs, we promote health and wellness that supports the mind, body, and spirit of every student.
Hours Monday through Saturday 7:30 a.m.–7:30 p.m. Sunday 11 a.m.-3 p.m. A nurse is on-call after hours.
Our Approach
Our doctors and nurses are educators, first and foremost. They are central to the team that guides students as they build knowledge and make decisions about nutrition, activity, relationships, and preventative practices, as students develop habits for a healthy future.
Students are always encouraged to come to the Health Center to talk about any and all health issues including physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. And when reactive action is required for an emergency, the Health Center is there to treat a wide range of illness and injury.
Students requiring professional medical, dental, and mental health services beyond the scope of the Tracy Health Center are referred to nearby Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and other community health offices. The nursing staff makes all necessary transportation arrangements for off-campus student appointments.
Tracy Health Center is a clinical site for nursing students from Colby Sawyer College and Norwich University. Student nurses spend clinical time in the Health Center as a residency for school nursing and adolescent care.
