HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOR THE ROSS VET COMMUNITY
Wellness is much more than physical health.
At Ross Vet, student wellness includes emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, spiritual, and cultural health. Although your personal wellness is your responsibility, Ross Vet has a variety of ways vet students can engage to live a happy, balanced life while you are part of our vet school community.
