College of Health and Wellness
Welcome to the College of Health and Wellness!
The College of Health and Wellness (CHW) boasts a wide range of programs, each focused on helping students become exceptional contributors to the health and well-being of their communities. Every program chair, clinical coordinator, and faculty member, in each of the programs, is deeply committed to helping students achieve their professional goals.
I encourage you to explore the programs offered through the CHW, which span several disciplines and includes integrative health care practices and more mainstream medical careers. The faculty and administration of the CHW recognize the importance of integration and cooperation within the healthcare system. We have created partnerships with the other colleges of NWHSU and external organizations to increase opportunities and enhance the learning of our students. By learning about, with, and from each other, graduates of the CHW will be well prepared to enter healthcare environments of the future.
The faculty of the CHW embrace critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and evidence informed practice as foundational to our programs. We also recognize the liberal arts as a valuable component of health and wellness education. We celebrate human diversity in all its forms and encourage our students to be actively engaged in their communities.
We look forward to serving you from the time you submit your application, during your time in a selected program, and when you become an alumna. We’re excited about your eventual graduation from the program and becoming a valued member of the health and wellness community.
