The cold and flu season is still upon us and students should take extra
care to stay healthy as they begin the spring semester. Remind your  student to take these basic steps to avoid getting sick:

.  Eat a balanced diet with lots of vegetables and fruit
.  Exercise regularly to boost the body’s immunity
.  Get plenty of sleep
.  Reduce stress

A 2004 survey of Fresno State students studied the factors that negatively impact academic performance.  Stress (30%), illness (27%) and sleep difficulties (19%) were some of the top distractions reported by Fresno State students.

Here at Fresno State our prime concern is the welfare of our students. The Wellness Services program was created to help students establish healthy lifestyles. If your student complains of illness or stress, remind them that there are a number of services available to them right here on campus. The health center is conveniently located on campus and most services are covered by the mandatory health fee that is part of registration costs. The health center can diagnose and treat a variety of illnesses and injuries.

These services are provided on a walk-in basis, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  Counseling walk-in hours are from 9-11 AM and 2-4 PM, Monday through Friday.
