The Jay Johnson Wellness Center of Saint Mary's University of Minnesota promotes the development of the whole person and encourages a lifestyle in students and the university community which integrates emotional, intellectual, physical, social, spiritual and vocational well-being. Through a conscious, deliberate, professional, and caring process, the Wellness Center staff assists students in modifying or removing barriers to learning, and empowers them to discern and pursue their own personal mission. Student Health and Counseling staff embody the Lasallian charism and work as a team to fulfill this mission: responsively through a holistic approach to all dimensions of well-being, and proactively through educating, motivating and serving as liaisons for students among other university and community services.
