Student and Community Health and Wellness
A holistic approach to wellness
Holistic health is the practice of treating the whole mind, body, and spirit – because it is never just one aspect of wellness that throws us off balance. Physical and spiritual health is connected to mental well-being, which affects how we interact socially and how we feel emotionally.
At the Mount, we make it a priority to care for all of these aspects of our students through a variety of health and wellness offices and programs that are all housed within the Student Health and Wellness Center. Our mission is not just to support you throughout your time in college, but to also teach you how to prioritize your wellness and live a life of vitality beyond your time here.

Expanding your mind starts with staying well. When you’re feeling under the weather, we’ll work with you to get well soon.
