Wellness Center

At the latest Student Government Association meeting, an attendee brought up the absence of a nurse practitioner at Dominican's Wellness Center. Since she lives on campus being five hours away from home, it is disadvantageous to her to not have that resource. Norah Collins, Associate Dean of Students and Advisor for SGA, said that the resignation of the nurse practitioner came at an inopportune time - in August soon before classes started. The Wellness Center is currently being evaluated and no hiring decisions are being made just yet. There are other resources available to residents if needed - so those who live far from home have options open to them. The next best option is Rush-Oak Park, which the university has a relationship with and DU students can get a 50% discount there.
