We’ve got you covered.
Exeter strives to make every student feel like they belong, they are cared for and they are supported. An essential element of that comes from our health care and counseling teams.
Medical care, counseling and wellness offerings are available to all Exeter students. We take a holistic approach to student well-being, supporting the health of every student and, in turn, of our entire community. Each Exonian should be confident to speak openly and appropriately about physical and mental health concerns and seek help when needed.
Lamont Health & Wellness Center
The Lamont Health & Wellness Center provides health care and counseling services for students right on campus. The center is open daily for walk-ins and scheduled appointments.
Registered nurses are on duty day and night. Physicians and counselors are on-call for emergencies 24/7. The center houses 23 beds for students requiring overnight care.
Our Counseling and Psychological Services team is located on the center’s third floor.
