Health Education
Health education is an essential part of the University Health Center's approach to providing the best care possible to JMU students.
The UHC's Student Wellness and Outreach (SWO) office enhances the JMU student experience by providing accurate, comprehensive, developmentally appropriate health education programming to students, as well as expertise and support to staff and faculty.
The UHC's Substance Abuse Prevention (SAP) office works to increase knowledge and awareness of alcohol and other drug issues, and decrease the negative consequences associated with high-risk drinking and illegal drug use.
The SAP and SWO offices are located on the 5th floor of Montpelier Hall. Please call 540-568-2831 to reach a health educator, 540-568-3317 to reach a substance abuse prevention specialist, or email uhcsap@jmu.edu to reach any UHC staff member.
In addition to clinical services, the UHC provides programming for residence halls, class instruction for HTH 407 (peer educators) and HTH 389 (Potty Mouth newsletter), advising for student organizations, and it brings professional speakers, documentaries, and campus awareness events to JMU.
