The Wellness Center has moved!
The Wellness Center has a new home in the lower level of Alumnae Hall. Enter by the door to the left of the old bookstore. There is a bright and spacious waiting room with space to safely social distance, a large exam room, and the Nurse’s Office is just around the corner. Hours are the same, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Monday to Friday. The new space is very welcoming, comfortable, and accessible for the students. Currently, we are unable to have an open house for the Rosemont Community, but I invite you to drop in for a tour. I would love to show the Rosemont Community this great space.
