Resources for Students
Meet our Student Health Team
Our Public Health Nurses continue to build capacity in students by working to enhance their health literacy and increase access to health services that empower students in making informed health-related decisions.
Communicable Diseases
As a community, we solve problems together. We need to take individual responsibility and a community of care approach to keep everyone safe and well. This approach begins with each of us protecting and maintaining our own health as well as that of others.
