The Schacht Center for Health and Wellness uses a password-protected online patient portal to communicate with students about test results and follow up needs. We do not use email. You may use the portal to ask us general questions or for medication refills. The portal should never be used to ask us urgent questions or problems. If you have a current medical problem, call us.

About the Patient Portal

Regular email is not used to communicate with you about your medical concerns or confidential information. 

Please note: Providers do not receive or respond to emails or secure messages when the Schacht Center is closed, including after hours and weekends. Additionally, provider schedules may mean that messages are not seen for one or two days during the work week. If you have an urgent or same-day issue, please call 413-585-2800. 

The portal can also be used to:

  • Submit required health forms, immunizations, and tuberculosis screenings
  • Access and update your immunization records
  • Schedule non-urgent appointments for form completion, vaccines, sports, travel and work physicals, and new patient meet and greet
  • Obtain helpful handouts
  • Provide us with copies of notes, prescriptions, labs, and other health records.

Log in to the Patient Portal using your Smith network username and password. NEVER share your Smith password.
