Health Services hopes to enhance students’ learning and overall experiences at Babson by assisting them in maintaining optimum physical and emotional health.

Our mission in Health Services is to assist Babson and Olin College of Engineering students in maintaining optimum physical and emotional health through the provision of high quality, comprehensive medical care in combination with health education and wellness services that are both easily accessible and cost effective.

All students enrolled in full time programs at Babson or Olin College of Engineering are eligible to use the health center.
