Harvard Vanguard Student Health Services provides primary medical care services to students enrolled at Wentworth. Students may use Harvard Vanguard Student Health Services for diagnosis and treatment of both short and long term illnesses and for preventive care.

Some of the services are available free of charge to Wentworth students, although follow-up specialty care and ancillary testing (labs, x-rays) are typically not covered. For the school semester, all medical care will be provided at the student health center on campus from 9am - 6p.m. Monday through Friday.

Wentworth students have access to medical care at Harvard Vanguard's Kenmore practice when the student health center is not open. This would include:

• Weekday mornings from 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
• Weekday evenings from 4:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
• Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
• Sundays and Holidays from 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Harvard Vanguard's primary clinician at the Wentworth health service is Brian O'Donnell, a Physician Assistant with extensive student health experience. In addition, Dr. Carol Zuckerman and Nicole Dettman, PA-C have hours available at Wentworth to see patients. Click here for profiles of Brian O'Donnell, PA, Dr. Zuckerman, and Nicole Dettmann, PA-C.

Harvard Vanguard Student Health Services respects student confidentiality. No health information is released to parents or college staff without the students' written authorization unless required by law or unless it is a life-threatening situation.

Medical advice via phone is available during times when neither the student health center nor the Harvard Vanguard Kenmore practice are open. This can be accessed by dialing the main student health center telephone number.

In the case of a life-threatening emergency, immediately contact Wentworth Office of Public Safety at 617-989-4400.
