IVC Student,

We’re excited to introduce the new Health and Wellness Center Newsletter: The Pulse at IVC — your monthly updates on health tips, campus wellness events, and resources to keep you thriving this semester!

Our IVC Health and Wellness Center offers free services like flu shots, mental health support, nutrition counseling, and more. Stay tuned for monthly updates to help you stay healthy in body and mind.

This month, we join the global effort to raise awareness about breast cancer, the most common cancer among women. Early detection saves lives—regular screenings, self-exams, and staying informed are key. 

Contact the IVC Health and Wellness Center to schedule an appointment.

October is also dedicated to raising awareness about depression, reducing stigma, and encouraging individuals to seek support.

If you’re experiencing symptoms like persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, or fatigue, know that you are not alone. Depression affects millions worldwide, but help is available. Reach out to a physician, mental health professional, or contact the Health and Wellness Center at 949-451-5221 or the National Helpline at 800-662-HELP (4357) for support.

Join us on Friday, November 1 at the IVC Health and Wellness Center for our annual community flu shot clinic! Enjoy free flu shots available to all community members from 10 am to 2 pm. Don’t miss this opportunity to protect yourself and your loved ones this flu season!
