Heroes Among Us

We Salute our Health Team for Their Steadfast Care of the Rumsey Community

Health Center staff David McDevitt, Gerri Gleason P'14, '17, '19, '22, Sage Witkoski, and Nancy Dalrymple P'25, '27.

we would like to express our deepest gratitude to Matthew Abel M.D., P'23, our Medical Director, for his dedication to creating and maintaining a healthy and safe Rumsey campus. Dr. Abel was a key resource for guidance and wisdom while we navigated the rocky terrain of the COVID-19 landscape. Dr. Abel is a physician at Candlewood Valley Pediatrics in New Milford and a parent of an Upper School student.

Keeping Us Healthy and Well in So Many Ways

In a year where the utmost attention to health and safety was required for operation, our Health Center staff bravely rose to the occasion. Under the fearless leadership of our new Director of the Health Center, Nancy Dalrymple P'25, '27 and Rick Butler P'20, '23, our Director of Residential Life, the crew relentlessly pursued information, resources, and guidance to determine how to create and maintain a COVID-free environment.

The team of heroes conquered every challenge tossed out by the everchanging guidelines for school operation with determination and creativity. With the foundation of their many contributions to testing processes, safe facilities, and professional development made in 2020, our Health Care team is poised to take action yet again, this year...and beyond.

The Health Center staff create a warm and safe environment for Rumsey students.

The redesigned Health Center is on the bottom level of Farmen Hall.
