Welcome to Hudson Valley Community College Health Services!
We are here to support students, faculty and staff in meeting their personal and academic goals by providing quality health care and prevention services through an integrative, holistic approach to benefit each individual and the entire campus community. Health advocacy initiatives empower students, faculty and staff to be engaged and take responsibility for health-related matters. The emphasis is self-care to promote overall wellness. We aspire to build a trusting and supportive relationship with the community we serve. This means being respectful, empathetic, honest and non-judgmental.
