From the University of Kentucky:

August 27, 2020

By Whitney Hale

As University of Kentucky students, faculty and staff return to classes this fall, the university is providing campus Wellness Stations to meet any unforeseen needs in maintaining a safe and healthy start to the school year.

The pop-up Wellness Stations are centrally located around campus to provide masks, disinfectant and other resources as needed and as available. All Wellness Stations will have operating hours Monday-Friday.

Wellness Stations can be found daily in the Gatton Student Center second floor lobby and, weather permitting, outside of the William T. Young Library, as well as in front of the Multidisciplinary Science Building.

Larger Wellness Stations referred to as the WellHut will be set up near Hilary J. Boone Center; White Hall Classroom Building; College of Agriculture, Food and Environment complex; Gatton College of Business and Economics Building; and The 90.

Sites are subject to change based on campus need.

And for students who have not yet picked up their wellness kit (originally distributed either during move-in or during COVID-19 testing on campus), those kits may be picked up at the following locations through Sept. 11:

• Johnson Center's front office, 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday;
• Student Organizations and Activities office on the first floor of Gatton Student Center, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday;
• Wellness Station 3 located between the Hilary J. Boone Center and the pathway to William T. Young Library, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday through Friday (weather permitting); and
• University Health Service/Health Education and Wellness PAWS, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
