Health Education

The goal of the Student Health Center is a healthy “student body”! We offer students information and education on how to live a healthy life in their new college environment.  UR Recreation and Wellness Department helps members of the University community live healthy, balanced lives through access to outstanding facilities, fitness and wellness programs, intramurals, sports club, and more.
