Health Center

At Grove School, we believe strongly that overall health and well-being is the basis for all that is necessary for growth and success in academics and lasting emotional resilience.

Our Health Center employs 9 Registered Nurses, 2 Licensed Practical Nurses, 1 Certified Medical Assistant, and is under the direction of a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. The Health Center is capable of assessing and treating minor injuries and ailments. In the event a student’s medical condition requires more extensive evaluation or treatment, the Health Center has established relationships with area practitioners who are able to provide such services.

The Health Center hours are 8:00AM – 10:00PM, 7 days a week.

Services provided at the Health Center include:

  • Medication Administration
  • Care for acute illnesses and injuries
  • Counseling on health and wellness

Our philosophy is that wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth. We view wellness as an active process of becoming aware of, and making choices toward, a healthy and fulfilling life and so we continually educate students on taking a proactive approach to health.

Nutrition Counseling services are available for an additional fee.   Services are provided by Registered Dietitian, credentialed with the Commission on Dietetic Registration through the American Dietetic Association to students needing counseling on various nutrition issues including weight management, food allergies, cardiovascular health, disease prevention, vegetarian nutrition, disordered eating and general nutrition/wellness.   Services include a nutrition assessment, treatment planning and provision, and consultation and continued collaboration with the members of the student’s treatment team.
