Is it Still Just a 'Nurse's Office'? A Proposal for a More Inclusive Name.

To better reflect our school's commitment to holistic student care, we should update the name of the "Nurse's Office."

While the name once fit, the office is now a dynamic center for multiple services. It's where our nurses, social workers, and other health professionals collaborate to track and support every aspect of a student's wellbeing—from physical health to social-emotional needs.

Renaming it to the "Student Wellness Center" (or a similar title, or why not let the organization have the choice?) would send a clear message: this is a welcoming, centralized space for all students to find comprehensive support. This change would reduce confusion and more accurately represent the vital, collaborative work being done.
