Hello Huntingdon College Hawks!
We would like to take this time to inform you that we have a new interactive online health portal, PyraMed, that will be used CAMPUS WIDE. This portal will allow you to schedule appointments with Athletic Training and Health & Wellness, fill out/sign important health and athletic training forms, upload supporting health and athletic training documents, communicate with Nurse Conville, the Athletic Training Staff, and Student Access Services and SO much more!

This web portal will have up-to-date information on things you need to know and any important updates that have been made on campus directly affecting your health and wellbeing. We encourage you to click the link below, use your school credentials (your school email login information) to log in and see if you have any pending forms or documents that need to be submitted. You will need to complete a few forms before the spring 2024 semester begins so please log on sooner than later to get started on these. If you are having trouble logging in, please submit a Cayzu and IT will be happy to assist you!

Please remember you will need to use this site to book your appointments to see your Athletic Trainers also going forward. The link to the portal is huntingdon.studenthealthportal.com. We hope this new portal will not only help us, but help you streamline any processes you need to follow while using our health services. We are excited about this process and look forward to seeing you soon!
