Health and Wellness

A healthy outside starts on the inside and Harford Community College is committed to helping you with both! 

Supporting your mental, emotional and physical health and well-being is crucial to your academic success. Throughout the year we offer programming, events, and activities that cover a vast array of personal, relational and social topics as well as provide activities that allow you expand your own bank of resources. 

We partner with local community organizations to provide comprehensive and monthly health awareness events, screenings, and testing.
