Taking place in the college’s Aquinas Hall atrium, the event was also hosted by the Mount’s Student Service Club and the Office of Residence Life.
Winter Wellness Day included interactive activities and giveaways; health screenings by Cornerstone Family Healthcare, Montefiore St. Luke’s Cornwall, and the Orange County Department of Health; children's crafts; a warm meal; a photo opportunity with Santa Claus; and festive and funky tunes by a live DJ.
The Desmond Center provides wellness and educational services for underserved individuals and families. The center offers accessible and equitable educational, health, and wellness services for community members and families in the local area. All services are free of cost and open to the community.
