Health Services

The mission of Health Services at Vermont Tech is to ensure that students at all VTC locations receive access to health care; and to support the health, safety and wellness of the VTC community.

Health Care Services

The health center on the Randolph Center campus is staffed full-time by a registered nurse who provides free non-emergent assessment and care for mild injuries and illnesses such as sprains, cuts, upset stomach and other common problems. Referrals are made as needed to the student’s primary care provider or to a local health care facility. The health center’s services also include:

• Educational materials
• Over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, hydrocortisone cream, antibiotic ointment, and cold medicines
• Condoms and pregnancy tests
• Feminine hygiene products
• COVID-19 antigen test kits
• Flue vaccines
• Nurse tele-health consultation and onsite visits to other sites, as needed.

During normal business hours when the nurse is not available, students should contact Student Affairs at (802) 728-1212 or studentaffairs@vtc.edu. The Student Affairs staff will provide guidance and/or contact the Health Services Coordinator.

In off hours, students should contact Public Safety for assistance at (802) 728-1292. In the case of an emergency, students should dial 911.

Mental Health & Substance Abuse

Every student is offered three counseling sessions with a licensed professional at no charge. After three sessions, students may use their health insurance, pay out of pocket, or be referred to another counselor.

To arrange a confidential appointment please email counseling@vtc.edu and someone will connect with you to make arrangements.

Lactation/Mother’s Room

The Administrative Center features a Lactation Room on the second floor to provide nursing mothers with a private space for breastfeeding and breast pumping. The health center is also available for this use.
