Health Services
The mission of the Health & Wellness Center is to optimize the college experience for all students by addressing their medical and mental health concerns and by promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyle choices. To achieve optimal health in our campus community, the Center provides a team of health professionals including a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, and mental health counselors.
The Health & Wellness Center sponsors health promotion programs and events on campus, and partners with providers from the community to offer students free STI testing, immunizations, yoga classes, and other health and wellness services. In the event that the Center does not have the resources to meet a particular medical need, students will be referred to a local provider.
