Construction of the Student Health Center is being paid for, in part, by $1,100,000 in Federal dollars secured by Congresswoman Theresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM 3). State and college funds make up the remainder of the construction costs.
San Juan College officials broke ground today on a new student health center on campus. The center is being built by the existing Health and Human Performance Center to provide free medical and mental health care for students.
Last Spring, San Juan College students voted to increase the general fee to help pay for the operation of the new center. The fee increase, which was approved by the college board of Trustees, was the first general fee increase in eight-years and will raise almost $200,000 per year to assist in the operation of the center.

During construction, students already have access to a temporary health center in the Cultural Center building, located between the athletic fields and the Educational Services (Clocktower) Building.
