Wellness Center

 

Parkland's Wellness Center is a wellspring of health related information. Its purpose is to distribute information about health and wellness to students, faculty and staff of Parkland College. But, it doesn't stop there! It extends into the community as well, with liasons at Provena and Carle to further its efforts in the administration of the most accurate and up-to-date information as possible. The Wellness Center is located in the Health Department of Parkland College, most easily accessed through the "L" wing entrance of the college. The functions of the Center are multifaceted, however, it does not administer health services in that it is not a clinic. If there is an onsite emergency, Public Safety should be contacted immediately. The Office of Public Safety is located in X109, or you may phone 351-2369 from a regular phone, or 2369 from any house phone. You may visit Public Safety on the web by clicking on the emergency button on the left, and get to know the PS staff as well as learn about various statistics, crime prevention, even read disclosures about incidences of criminal activity at Parkland College.
