Health Services

The mission of the Health & Wellness Center is to optimize the college experience for all students by addressing their physical 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 nurse practitioner, physician assistant, medical assistant, and licensed 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. If the student requires more intensive medical or mental health needs, students will be referred to a local provider.
