Welcome to the Health Center

The Bentley Health Center is a confidential resource available to support full-time students, both residential and non-residential. Most services within the office are covered by your tuition. 

Our dedicated team of nurse practitioners is available throughout the academic year to diagnose and treat many common health conditions and injuries, perform lab testing, write prescriptions and support medication delivery, and connect students with specialty care when indicated. Health Center clinicians offer preventive routine care and health education and are committed to helping students become smart and safe consumers of health care. 

About Us

Our Health Center, accredited by the Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), stands out for exceptional patient care, high quality staff and dedication to quality improvement. We are members of our national and regional professional associations, ACHA and NECHA, demonstrating our commitment to advancing student health and wellbeing. 

To provide holistic and comprehensive care, we collaborate with many partners on campus, including the Counseling Center, Community Wellbeing and Health Promotion, and the Center for Health and Business. In addition, we strive to build a campus inclusive of and dedicated to the success of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) communities. Learn more at LGBTQ+ @Bentley.
