The Health Resource Center provides health education and support to students in order to facilitate the ongoing development of healthy lifestyles.
As an integral part of the Student Health Services, our purpose is to offer and refer to a comprehensive range of health education services and programs. We utilize various ideas, research methodologies, and needs assessment tools, which integrate into health education for the college population.
All of our health education programs are free for CSULB students.
