Mission
The mission of Health Promotion Services is to provide students with the most relevant and current information that will prepare them to lead healthy lives while at college and long after leaving the learning environment.

Wellness is not simply the absence of disease or illness but is actively pursued with the goal of feeling in good health. It is realizing the benefits, risks and/or consequences associated with everyday decisions. A healthier lifestyle can be achieved through behavior modification and requires the motivation to improve the quality of your life and the lives of those around you.

Goals

• To engage students to gain control over and make behavior changes necessary to improve personal health and wellness.
• To place value on personal well-being as a necessity to learn, be productive and contribute to society in everyday life.
• To encourage a balance of mind, body and spirit.
• To create an environment that promotes and supports well-being, for the entire campus community.
• To provide current, reliable and accurate health information to the college community through print, email and verbal communications.
• To provide proper guidance and referrals when necessary and appropriate.
• To assess services provided and continually strive to make improvements where necessary.
