We
would like to take a moment to introduce, or reintroduce, you to the Cañada
College Wellness Center. Located in Room 303 on the 3rd
floor of Building 5 (around the corner from The Grove) the Wellness Center
includes the Health Center, the Disability Resource Center (DRC), and the
Personal Counseling Center (PCC). The Wellness Center was rebranded to
help unify all three programs and provide a safe and central place for students
who need personal assistance.
