A recent University news release reported "only 28 out of 1,700 college health centers nationwide chose to go through the challenging Joint Commission accrediting process."
The Health Center shares the same values as the Joint Commission while offering superior services at an economical rate.
One of the fundamental differences that sets the Health Center apart from other health care facilities is its commitment to a personalized atmosphere while incorporating prevention-focused services.
In short, the center is passionate about helping patients but wants to see less of them visit with health problems.
These prevention programs educate students and faculty about how to stay healthy, both physically and psychologically, by targeting common health issues such as substance abuse, sexual health, stress prevention, malnutrition and social illness.
The Health Center also synthesizes public outreach programs with its goal for advanced health awareness.
The In Sickness and In Health student group helps students achieve balance and maintain their own unique strategies for better livelihood.
The state of the art facilities, technology and staff make the Health Center a perfect resource for anyone regardless of sex or age.
