Health and Well-Being
Health Center
We're committed to the whole-body/emotional health and well-being of each student at Avon Old Farms. Our Health Center is a place of comfort: our experienced and nurturing medical professionals are trained to heal, guide, and educate students. The Health Center is staffed with the following licensed care-givers:
- Nine registered nurses that provide 24/7 nursing coverage while school is in session, either in the office or on call.
- A Medical Director who comes to campus three times a week to see students for illness or injuries occurring at school or during school related activities.
- A team of licensed clinicians who provide students with counseling and psychological services to assist with their emotional well-being. For more information on our counseling and psychological services click on Emotional Wellbeing below.
- The School also has a relationship with a local psychiatrist, who provides medication consultation and management on campus as needed. The cost of these services is the responsibility of the student's family.
The Health Center works closely with three area hospitals, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, Hartford Hospital and UCONN Health for referrals and comprehensive care for our students.
