Condoms, cold medicines, band-aids and other items offered at the Health Services Center were made available earlier this month on a mobile health cart. The "Health Services' Wednesday Wellness Wagon" is an electric golf cart run by health educator Mary-Jo Lomax on Wednesdays.
"We wanted to make it more available … just to students whose classes don't take them to the center of the campus," said Lomax, adding that many students do not even know that the Health Services office exists.
"Condoms are the least popular items," Lomax said. "Mostly it's over the counter medicines."
According to Lomax, students do not seem to abuse the items the cart offers and take only what they need.
The cart will not be offered this Wednesday as it is only offered during the first four weeks of each month. The next cycle of the program will begin in November.
