Health and Wellness

NVLF’s Health & Wellness Pathway Program supports Military Community Advocates (MCAs) who have developed Health & Wellness service programs and military-connected students pursuing careers in healthcare and the health sciences. The program provides opportunities to develop relevant leadership experience in health and wellness fields while on campus. It pairs military-connected students with mentorship, networking, and career planning resources to support their service programs and the post-college transition into healthcare careers.

The Health & Wellness Pathway helps military-connected students recognize and pursue career opportunities in healthcare and health sciences while making a positive difference on their campuses. Building a corps of Health & Wellness MCAs and military-connected students serves two purposes: 

• expanding supportive services for the military-connected community on college campuses; and 

• elevating career opportunities for those seeking to transition into health and wellness fields.

Health & Wellness Program Components:

• Leadership development through campus-based health and wellness initiatives

• Direct mentorship from healthcare professionals and industry leaders

• Networking opportunities with healthcare organizations and employers

• Career planning support tailored to healthcare sector requirements

• Service scholarship support for military-connected students in health sciences programs

• Professional development workshops focused on healthcare industry trends and opportunities
