Q. Why do we need to pay the Student Health and Wellness fee when my son/daughter already has a doctor in town and they won't ever go there?

Even if they don't actually come into our facility, all students benefit from the health fee by our campus community health work.
We track and enforce the immunization requirements to prevent epidemics of measles, mumps, meningitis and tuberculosis. We help to manage potential disease outbreaks of additional diseases like Hepatitis A and chicken pox and we work closely with other campus departments to promote healthy behaviors such as:
  • Eating
  • Exercise
  • Stress management
  • Sexual health
  • Alcohol
  • Tobacco
  • Substance use
  • Eating disorders
  • Recognition of depression and anxiety
