Our Health and Wellness program is built on strong partnerships, trusted adults, and proactive education that supports every student’s well-being. Whether it’s physical care, emotional support, or health education, our team is here to help students thrive.
On-Campus Health Center
Our six-bed infirmary is centrally located on campus and staffed by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals. Open weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and weekends from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., a nurse is always on-call overnight to ensure continuous care.
Health Center Team
Meet the dedicated professionals who lead our Health Center - plus, a team of experienced nurses who support daily care and communication to ensure every student receives attentive, compassionate care.
When specialized care is needed, we partner closely with local orthodontists, dentists, orthopedic specialists, and nearby hospitals. Our team helps schedule and transport boarding students to off-campus appointments, streamlining the process for families.

Mental Health & Counseling Support
Rumsey Hall offers on-campus counseling through our full-time counselor, George Webb, who provides compassionate, confidential support for students navigating life’s challenges. From homesickness and anxiety to social stress and adjustment, George helps students develop healthy coping strategies.
A Network of Trusted Adults
At Rumsey, every student is surrounded by adults who know and care for them: faculty, dorm parents, coaches, and advisors. We know how important it is for students to feel seen, heard, and supported.
Our Advisory Program ensures each student has a dedicated advisor who checks in regularly, offers guidance, and serves as a key connection between home and school.
