Campus Health and Wellness Resources
UMKC provides several resources around campus to aid in your wellness throughout the year. These resources are already covered in student fees, so there is no additional charge to use them while you are in school. Below is an overview of each of these resources, linked to previous postings in USucceed as well as to their websites.
Swinney Rec Center provides numerous venues for building and maintaining physical fitness. The fitness center provides work-out equipment, the aquatic center provides a place to swim or relax, and courts provide places to let your competitive side shine! Check out their website for hours and more details!
The MindBody Center provides a space where students can learn skills to manage academic and personal stressors. Some of the services they provide include the relaxation station, eWave by HeartMath, Wii hours of the Day, and Tuesday Tune-Ups. They are located in the University Center room 161, and they are open from 11am-5pm Monday-Friday. Visit their website for more information!
The Counseling Center provides counseling, group therapy, and relationship counseling. They also provide other programs to aid in not only mental health now but to build a foundation for a long, healthy, happy life and to help you realize your full potential. Visit their website or stop by their office in the 4825 Troost building. Also, visit their blog, Shrink Rap.
The Health and Wellness Center is a functional clinic for students. A nurse practitioner is available to see for primary health care services, and the pharmacy is available for having prescriptions filled (many at a lower price than other pharmacies!). Programming includes topics such as handling stress, alcohol and drug awareness, and sexual health. Visit their website for more information on these programs or to make an appointment. Also, visit their Wellness Reader blog for tips on staying healthy throughout the year!
