The Student Health and Wellness Center (SHAW) is continuing its campaign to help UW-Milwaukee Students have a healthier campus lifestyle. SHAW offers Wellness Visits to UWM students eligible for care. These appointments are check-up-like screening appointments to help students understand their current health and wellness, and SHAW provides guidance on how to continue or improve well-being. Here are four reasons why students should consider scheduling a Wellness Visit at SHAW.
These appointments will help you succeed on campus
Wellness Visits are well-being consultations for students. Our SHAW providers will guide students through screenings and questionnaires to check for physical health risk factors, mental health concerns, and more. SHAW staff can then provide students with opportunities on campus that will help them thrive. Students will leave these appointments feeling like their physical and mental wellness needs have been met.
You’ll learn more about campus resources
SHAW has multiple connections with UWM offices and centers that are here to support students. Some students who have already completed Wellness Visits received referrals to University Recreation personal training, while others have been directed to basic needs support with the Dean of Students Office. Overall, students can have peace of mind that they’ll be put in touch with professionals to help them live their best lives on campus.
The appointments are free
Healthcare can be confusing, and students are already struggling when it comes to taking care of themselves. Luckily, students paying segregated fees can make a free Wellness Visit appointment with SHAW. Students will never have to worry about dealing with insurance at SHAW. We make it easy for students to come in, get the care they need, and easily know how much they owe after care.
You can Earn a Panther Shop Gift Card for attending
There’s not much better than free money, so completing a Wellness Visit at SHAW grants you a $20 PantherShop Gift Card (while supplies last)! Use this card to find a new favorite hoodie for the late Fall semester or stock up on school supplies to store in your desk. You’re bound to find something useful with the help of this gift card.
There are plenty of reasons to schedule a Wellness Visit at the Student Health and Wellness Center this Fall. Let our staff help you become the best version of yourself this school year. Schedule your appointment online or by calling 414-229-SHAW (7429).
