Health Services

Health Services can address everything from the most common illnesses and health concerns to assisting in the management of significant and chronic health issues.

Our family nurse practitioner provides routine health and wellness care, such as physicals, as well as problem-oriented care for most illnesses and injuries. Students with specific health needs may be referred to urgent care or the emergency department.

Summer Hours:

From June 1 - August 1, Health Services is open Monday - Thursday from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. We will resume our normal business hours of 8:30 am - 5:00 pm on August 1.

Please contact 413-565-1544 or healthservices@baypath.edu for general information or to schedule an appointment.

Please Note: If Health Services is closed and you have a medical urgency that needs assessment within a day, seek care at a local emergency room or urgent care facility.

If you have non-urgent clinical concerns and have the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), you can contact a 24/7 nurse line that can answer health questions. Please call 1.888.247.BLUE (2583).
