Health and Wellness

Military service teaches you to care for the people beside you, often under real pressure. That instinct is the same one that drives great careers in healthcare. The Health & Wellness Pathway helps military-connected students find out where that instinct could take them.

This program supports Military Community Advocates (MCAs) who have developed Health & Wellness service programs, as well as military-connected students pursuing careers in healthcare and the health sciences. It gives them the chance to build real leadership experience in health and wellness fields while still on campus, connecting them with mentorship, networking, and career planning resources that support both their service programs and their transition into healthcare careers after graduation. For military-connected MCA students, it’s also a great way to test a career area, seeing firsthand whether healthcare is the right fit, before making the leap.

By helping military-connected students recognize and pursue opportunities in healthcare and health sciences, while making a tangible difference on their campuses, the Pathway builds a corps of Health & Wellness-minded MCAs and students who serve two purposes:

• Expanding supportive services for the military-connected community on college campuses
• Elevating career opportunities for those seeking to transition into health and wellness fields

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 and career opportunities
