HEALTH & WELLNESS

Dear Benedict College Tigers,

On behalf of the Benedict College Health Center, welcome to Tiger Nation!! As the campus medical and wellness home for students at Benedict College, we endorse behaviors that support whole-person health and wellness. We provide you with quality and confidential health care. Our goals are to help you maintain your health through education and prevention and to restore your health, when necessary, by treatment of illness, injury, or stress. As your partner in wellness, we want to increase your appreciation of the importance of healthful behaviors, assist you in developing self-care skills and learn how to be an effective consumer of healthcare resources.

You are the reason we are here, and we welcome your use of the resources we offer. We appreciate hearing from you regarding our services and encourage your active involvement with Student Health. On behalf of the entire staff, we would like to contribute to your enjoyment and academic success as a Benedict Student.

Daphne L. New, RN, BSN Director of Student Health
