Appointments are available every Wednesday through November 2. Visit the Faculty/Staff Health & Wellness Clinic website for more information and to schedule an appointment.

HealthEU resources

Visit the new HealthEU website for comprehensive information about campus programs, services and resources to support the health and well-being of our community. Separate tabs for students and for faculty/staff make finding resources easy, and the information is also organized along the six dimensions of wellness: community, emotional, financial, physical, purpose and social.

Community health status update

Each Tuesday afternoon by 4 p.m., the university COVID-19 webpage is updated with information about the status of COVID-19 in our community. The site also includes a link to the latest information about the CDC COVID-19 community levels, which are currently at low in Alamance and Guilford counties.

Our next Community Health Update will be next Wednesday, October 26, by 10:45 a.m.
