Located on the ground floor of the Olive Swann Porter building, Health Services is staffed by a women's health nurse practitioner who provides medical treatment for common, non-life-threatening illnesses, treatment of minor injuries, and physical examinations. The nurse practitioner also provides personal health education and coordinates programs on health related topics. A physician is available on campus by a scheduled appointment. There is no charge for Health Services visits for full-time students. All medical information in Health Services is confidential.
All new students must comply college medical requirements including immunizations, a tuberculosis test, and a physical examination. All full-time students, and all students living on campus are required to have health insurance that meets our college waiver requirements. Health insurance with coverage in Macon is required for all students to cover off-campus medical care. Students with chronic illnesses may be referred to local physicians for management. Off-campus referrals may be needed for diagnostic tests or treatment beyond the scope of Health Services.
There are several medical facilities close to campus that provide treatment when Health Services is closed. Navicent Health Urgent Care, located 925 Zebulon Road, is available for urgent medical care. Coliseum Northside Hospital Emergency Room, located at 400 Charter Boulevard is available for emergency treatment.

There are so many factors involved in staying healthy beyond our physical health. In these times of busy schedules and compounding distractions it is crucial to make our happiness a priority. Luckily Wesleyan is here to help. See a list below of programs and contacts available to get you started.
Wesleyan’s meditation space is located on the third floor of OSP (near campus police). Students, faculty, and staff are welcome to use the space for meditation, quiet time, or reflection during business hours (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday). However, due to new COVID guidelines, we ask that no more than three people use the space at any given time and that you bring your own towel or blanket to put over the meditation cushions. To receive a meditation space agreement form, which must be completed prior to using the space, please email: shaberlin@wesleyancollege.edu.
All Wesleyan College students have access to the SilverCloud program. SilverCloud provides students with a broad library of online therapy programs to promote and support behavior change and overall mental wellness.
