Primary Care Health Service

Our mission at Primary Care Health Services of Barnard College (PCHS) is dedicated to delivering evidence-based, trauma-informed, accessible, high-quality, and compassionate care that holistically addresses the health and well-being of our students. We are committed to health and reproductive justice, supporting student growth, and fostering autonomy in medical decision-making. Our goal is to empower students to become independent healthcare utilizers and advocates for their health, collaborating with them to co-create strategies that enhance their wellness and address the sensitive and vulnerable aspects of care.

We are unwavering in our commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and innovation, ensuring all students feel welcome, respected, and heard in our care. Adhering to the rigorous standards set by the American Association of Ambulatory Health Centers and the guidelines of the American College Health Association, we strive for excellence and equity in every aspect of our services.
