University of San Diego and Palomar Health Enter New Transformative Partnership

The University of San Diego (USD) and Palomar Health are excited to announce a transformative new partnership aimed at revolutionizing health and wellness for both the campus community and the wider San Diego region. Among several new initiatives between USD and Palomar Health, the collaboration will also result in the naming of the Palomar Health Student Wellness Center at the University of San Diego. This three-story, 80,000 square-foot facility, currently under construction at USD, will set a new standard for inclusive wellness resources and NCAA Division 1 basketball practice facilities for the university’s student-athletes.

Scheduled to open in January 2025, the wellness center represents a shared commitment to promoting health education, research and community engagement. This collaboration leverages Palomar Health’s expertise in healthcare services and the University of San Diego’s dedication to academic excellence and student well-being.

The partnership also includes: 

• Palomar Health will provide placement opportunities for marriage and family therapy students from USD’s School of Leadership and Education Sciences, as well as nursing students from USD’s Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science. 
• Palomar Health and USD will collaborate to establish initiatives and services for USD community members that could include music therapy, stress management, biofeedback, pet therapy and behavioral therapy.
• Palomar Health could also have the opportunity to provide telehealth capabilities to the USD community in the future.
• Palomar Health will work with USD on additional opportunities for health and wellness programs for USD employees.
