Committed to helping you make your health a priority

The Health & Wellness Center

ALL students, both residents and commuters, are welcome at the Health & Wellness Center!

Health & Wellness Center services include evaluation and treatment of any health concern you may have. 

We encourage any member of the University community to inform the Health & Wellness Center of any personal health problems which would require immediate care in an emergency, such as heart disease, allergies, asthma, diabetes, and seizure disorders so that our providers can respond appropriately should the need arise.
