ABSTRACT
University students' health and well-being is critical, especially in the aftermath of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic; however, a comprehensive and integrated approach in academic institutions remains neglected. In this context, the local experience from a pilot university-based Student Health Center at an urban campus in Greece is presented. Select health promotion and disease prevention screening and monitoring initiatives are summarized from the viewpoint of a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats analysis, with emerging health needs and policy implications. Long-term sustainability is feasible, only if synergies and close collaboration with other university units and local health authorities are developed. A post-pandemic call to action for intervention programs that integrate physical and mental health care, as well as raise awareness among university stakeholders and health policy makers, is issued.
