Harvard University Health Services

Parents

We understand that learning to use a healthcare system and arrange for care is a significant educational experience for students transitioning into college. As a uniquely comprehensive healthcare facility offering a wide range of primary and specialty care services, we provide high quality care for students – and a wealth of opportunities to enhance wellness.

In person, over the phone, or online, your student may seek advice from a registered nurse; send a secure, confidential message to his or her primary care clinician; access hundreds of health information resources; and more.  Should your child have an urgent illness, injury, or concern, he or she may access primary care and mental health services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at our Holyoke Center facility in Harvard Square. 

Information and resources of particular interest to parents of new students are shown below; we invite you to continue to browse through our website to "get to know us" and the breadth of care we offer the Harvard community.
