Navigating Student Health at UMMC
In the Office of Student Affairs at UMMC, one of our main priorities is the overall wellness of our students. While this encompasses many areas – intellectual, spiritual, financial, social, vocational, and environmental – two of the most vital are physical and emotional wellness.
To ensure students have access to the care they need, UMMC offers a wide range of health services in addition to those provided by private physicians. We have created an informational graphic that highlights six key resources, complete with contact details and a QR code for easy access. Those six key resources are summarized here.
