Health Center Services
Health Services are available free to provide health care and education. Emphasis is given to the whole student--physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual needs. The goal is to empower individuals with health care knowledge and Christian principles to make informed decisions about health-related issues. The Coordinator of Health Services and Wellness is Debbie Rosenberger, RN, BSN, Email: drosenberger@umhb.edu
