The Wellness Center is a campus wide prevention and education program aimed at promoting a healthier, safer environment for the University of Houston. It does so through providing outreach, education, and support to the university community. Its goal is to inform students and employees on how to improve their own personal well being, and to assist the university in promoting a WELL campus.
