This week Health Services celebrates another great woman in medicine, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker.

Today, our entire community will come together for our second annual UArtist Day of Giving to support students. 100% of the funds raised over the 24 hours of giving will go directly to support UArts students in need.

March is Women's History Month, Health Services celebrates women in medicine. This week we celebrate Rebecca Lee Crumbler

You can schedule an appointment to speak with the nurse.

Coloring can reduce stress as well as work to sharpen areas of your brain. It generates wellness, quietness and also stimulates the brain (activating the areas relating to logic and creativity). The relaxation that it provides lowers the activity of the amygdala, a basic part of our brain involved in controlling emotion that is affected by stress. Tips: Color in a calm environment. Try to have some relaxing music playing. Let the colors and creativity flow! ... Try it out! Use your own programs such as paint or Adobe or any of the following free apps to color any picture you like. Don’t forget to tag us so we can see! #uarts #uartshealthservices #universityofthearts
