We are your connection to better health!
According to the National College Health Assessment, stress and illness due to the cold or flu are the most common causes of academic failure. That’s right. In addition to attending classes, studying, and other factors, your success at TC3 may depend simply on staying healthy.
Maintain a healthy immune system to boost your chances of reducing the severity of an illness (or even avoid it all together).
- Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes and mouth.
- Keep your distance from others when you or they have a cough.
- Make sure your diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables balanced with other major food groups.
- Get some sleep! Your body needs to recover AND your brain needs to process lots of new information each day.
- Exercise at least a little bit every day.
- Don’t let stress get to you. Learn ways to manage stress that work for you.

When you call the Health Center after regular hours you will be instructed on how to reach the nursing line. Calls to the nursing line should be for injury or illness questions only. If you have an emergency, call 911.
Cold and Flu Health Information
Cold and flu season is upon us. Here are some helpful tips that can get you through.
Do you have to be ill to use the Health Center?
Of course not. We encourage students to take charge of their health by engaging in activities that promote optimal wellness. Such activities include making healthy life-style choices and becoming knowledgeable about personal self-care. No question is considered too trivial. Feel free to stop by or make an appointment concerning your health questions.
