Students outside the Health Center

The Elliot Menkowitz, M.D. Health Center at The Hill School is named after local doctor and loyal Hill parent, Dr. Elliot Menkowitz of Pottstown. The center was dedicated in Dr. Menkowitz's name in October of 2002. This beautiful facility was renovated in 1998 with the help of a generous contribution from his family. The facility includes three exam rooms, one treatment room, 12 beds, and offers a variety of non-emergency medical services to both day and boarding students. The knowledgeable staff is fully committed to maintaining confidentiality while providing a safe environment for students.

The Health Center is open to see students at the following days/times:

Monday through Friday:
7:45 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Saturday: 8 a.m. to noon
Sunday: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Health Center Providers
The Hill School Health Center employs two nurse practitioners and a School physician. Students may be evaluated by a provider Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. by appointment. The providers are available to the nurse on call for student illness/injury or emergencies.

A registered nurse is available at all times. For assistance during non-operating hours, students must alert their dorm parents who will then contact the on-call nurse. If a dorm parent is not available, a student may contact Hill Security. Counseling services also are provided through the Health Center.

Students are not permitted to visit the Health Center for non-emergency purposes during an academic class or obligation. Should a student require an appointment with the nurse practitioner or doctor, the time will be tailored so that it does not interfere with scheduled classes.
