Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being

Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being

Healthy individuals–physically, mentally, and socially–are key to any sustainable community, and the University takes pride in the work it is doing to ensure that students, staff, and faculty are healthy. This includes free access to the Northern Sports Centre for staff and a nominal rate for students, to ensuring on-site counselling, to medical benefits plans, to providing engaging social events such as potluck lunches and dinners through the First Nations Centre. Our research expands across a number of areas such as indigenous health (the Northern Collaborative Centre for Indigenous Health – national, collaboration), healthy aging in place (the Centre for Technology Adoption for Aging in the North - local), the UNBC Health Research Institute (local) and the Northern Medical Program along with Physical and Occupational Therapy education (regional).


UNBC Medical Clinic

The UNBC Medical Clinic is located in room 5-161 of the Library Building on the Prince George campus. The clinic is staffed by a team of medical professionals who collaborate to offer a wide range of health services, aiming to coordinate and support students' healthcare needs while they study at UNBC. The UNBC Medical Clinic is available to registered UNBC students during their time in Prince George.


UNBC Counselling Services

The Counselling team is here to help UNBC students meet their goals as they journey through their academic life. Please visit the following website to find out how to connect with them.


Employee Well-being

UNBC Employee Well-being strives to facilitate safe and equitable participation in the workplace for UNBC employees, including those with disabilities and/or medical conditions. Their role is to support employees with workplace accommodations, medical leaves, return-to-work planning, and contribute to larger organizational wellness initiatives.
