Student Health Services

VSDB is well prepared to meet the healthcare needs — routine as well as acute — of both residential and day students when they are on campus. We encourage each child to obtain optimum health and wellness while maximizing his or her educational potential.

On-Site Services

Our Student Health Center (SHC) is located in Bradford Hall which is in close proximity to the schools, residential halls, playground, and cafeteria. When students are on campus, the SHC is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and is staffed with all licensed nurses. First aid and routine care is provided for students with acute or chronic health conditions.

Partnering with Families

The SHC staff will provide reminders to parents/guardians when their child’s annual physical and dental exams are due. On site clinics for dental and vision exams may be available, contact the SHC for more information. Flu vaccines are offered annually free of charge.

Nursing Staff

VSDB nurses have diverse clinical expertise. They work under the direction of contracted pediatric physicians who are available by telephone 24 hours a day while students are in residence.
