About Us
The Wellness Center is open to all students, staff and faculty free of charge. All visits are kept confidential. We provide a safe haven for students and others during difficult or troubling times. Our mission is to promote health education and wellness for our entire campus community, and to assist students in reaching their college and career goals.
In compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, New York State Human Rights Law and other federal, state, and local laws, the Wellness Center is committed to ensuring equal employment, educational opportunity, and equal access to services, programs and activities without regard to an individual's race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, gender, pregnancy, gender identity, sexual orientation, predisposing genetic characteristics, marital status, veteran status, military status, domestic violence victim status, or ex-offender status.
Our registered nurses are available in the office to consult with students, faculty, and staff regarding common health concerns, such as cold and flu symptoms, minor injuries, headaches, etc., and more serious problems, such as eating disorders, alcohol and substance abuse, and pregnancy. We also serve as first responders when illness and injury occur on campus, to provide first aid and referrals to health providers as needed. We are available for telephone triage, especially during flu season.
