An important part of your life while at Harvard is maintaining your overall health and well-being, ensuring a more positive experience during your stay.  We understand that, along with the many changes you may experience during the transition to life in the U.S., navigating the health care system may be an added challenge.  HUHS providers and staff are aware of these significant changes and differences in expectations and experiences, and are committed to delivering the best quality care while respecting the diverse needs of our students.

Understanding Your Student Health Insurance

Getting to Know Us
HUHS offers a broad selection of services to help ease your transition and make life at Harvard a happy, healthy, and rewarding experience.  Ranging from internal medicine to specialty services, counseling and support, wellness resources, and more, we strive to provide you with top quality care so you can remain "at your best.” 

Healthcare in the U.S. focuses on regular, preventive care (routine “wellness checks”) to promote good health, as well as being available in times of emergencies or when something seems wrong.  By using this view as a basis, we hope that it will be easier to understand and access our many services, enabling you to find the care you need to maintain your overall well-being.  For a quick overview, see Harvard Healthcare 101, a guide to understanding and navigating our healthcare system.
