The Wellness Center exists to promote and foster student well-being and elevate student wellness as a critical ingredient in the pursuit of academic and personal achievement.
The Wellness Center offers an integrated whole student approach to wellness in a collaborative, empowering, and supportive environment. At Modesto Junior College, we recognize that wellness must be part of our campus and community culture in order for students to achieve and succeed. In our ongoing pursuit for equitable access to opportunity and support, the Wellness Center will offer studens the resources, tools, and opportunities to build a strong foundation of wellness so that they might thrive in all life pursuits.
All students have the wellness resources and opportunities they need to pursue and maintain a thriving academic and personal life.
To create a safe and welcoming space where each person can explore their path to wellness, find community, and embrace a vibrant, fulfilling academic and personal life.

Impact: We are driven by the needs and lives of those we serve - striving to have real influence and impact in the lives of our students.
