Welcome Wellness Center
The goal of the Wellness Center supports the college mission to provide individual guidance to students as they strive for academic excellence and develop values that will guide them in meaningful and productive lives. We are dedicated to encouraging behaviors that change or eliminate health-related barriers to learning, promote optimum physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, occupational, and community wellness. We empower students to be self-directed and well-informed consumers of healthcare.
Our Guiding Principles
In order to achieve our mission the Wellness Center is guided by a set of guiding principles, that are dynamic, subject to change and foster an appreciation of diversity and fulfill the Basilian motto: Teach me goodness, discipline, and knowledge.
- Healthy lifestyles throughout the college community are vital to the education process.
- College health is dynamic and reflects changes in society that effect students.
- Students are responsible for their own health (self-care concept).
- Learning is valuable for its own sake, for the sake of those who learn, and for the sake of society as a whole.
- Every individual possesses dignity.
- The campus environment encourages students to reach their full human potential.
- Human diversity is positive, tolerance and openness is encouraged.
- Students have developmental processes that must be mastered. These are culturally dependent and students often engage in risky behaviors as they negotiate these stages.
- Confidentiality is essential.
