Health & Wellness Center

What We Do:

What we do and how we do our work at the UCA Health and Wellness Center is guided by:

1.  Our Mission Statement.  It is to promote optimal academic performance and life-long healthy behaviors of UCA students through the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and behavioral change.

2.  Work based on the health promotion model of “any planned combination of educational, political, environmental, regulatory, or organizational mechanisms that support actions and conditions of living conducive to the health of individuals, groups, and communities” (Joint Committee on Health Education Terminology, 2001).

3.  Health needs of UCA students determined by, but not limited to, surveys, focus groups, national and local data, needs assessment, and student organizations.

4.  Evidence-based best practices and professional standards to better insure maximum results.

The Health and Wellness Center operates under the umbrella of Student Services division of the University of Central Arkansas.
