Health Related Resources

Many students on campus may feel as though they dont have anywhere to go when they are having an issue or a have a health related question. I believe that checking in wth a doctor is very helpful. The reason is because you want to get help sooner than later because the later you get help may make a situation worse. This week a have a list of On and Off Campus Health Related Numbers and Locations. There is always Mary Walker and they are open from 8-4, and can cater to all of your health needs.

Walker Health Center 8:00-4:00 ext. 4100
