About the DHC
The Davison Health Center, located at 327 High Street (adjacent to X House and the CFA Theater), is home to three distinct but related health offices. Collectively, these offices address the health needs of the Wesleyan student body to support your academic and personal success.
WesWELL, the Office of Health Education
WesWELL (your humble blogger) focuses on educational outreach activities on health issues. That means prevention education provided by a professional health educator (Lisa Currie) and our most fabulous student peer education group, the Peer Health Advocates. Plus non-credit fitness classes, safer sex supplies, a great resource library, funding for your health education events and more. Drop in the office on the second floor of the DHC or call 860.685.2466 or email weswell@wesleyan.edu. And check out our extensive website at www.wesleyan.edu/weswell.
Health Services
The staff of Health Services provides confidential medical care for illness, injury, sexual health, travel consults, and more. So if you need to see a doctor or nurse, or need a sexual health visit, or a vaccine, or a referral to a local medical provider or something else in the medical realm, this is the place to go. Appointments are strongly recommended since walk-ins may have to wait. And there is no cost to see a provider (ask about the very reasonable fees for some services though). Call 860.685.2470 for your appointment. Their website is at www.wesleyan.edu/healthservices and is chock full of information on services and such.
The Office of Behavioral Health for Students
If you are looking for someone with whom you can talk, OBHS provides free, confidential mental and emotional health support in individual and group settings. Again, appointments are needed, so give a call when you need it. No need to wait until you’re in crisis — call if you need to talk with someone. Call 860.685.2910 for your appointment or find them on the web at www.wesleyan.edu/obhs.
