Health, Wellness and Recreation
At Simmons, you aren't just a number, you're a valuable part of the Simmons community. We know that Simmons students thrive when they're healthy, and it's our goal to support your well-being.
Empowering you to be your best self
Our programs are designed to promote the wellbeing of Simmons students in support of their academic success. We specialize in offering health promotion events, prevention programs, educational materials and resources.
Working in close collaboration with student support services like the Health Center, our On-Campus Nutritionist, Violence Prevention and Education, Counseling Services, Athletics, and Spiritual Identity Support, we have your health and wellness needs covered.
Our Wellness Ambassadors provide open-minded and non-judgmental resources on campus for accurate health and wellness information. They promote the mission of the Recreation and Wellness Program and advocate for a culture of wellbeing among the Simmons community. More information on Wellness Ambassador events, informal wellness drop-in hours, and Safer Sex Express can be found on this webpage.
