Results: The data revealed 36% of HBCUs prioritized student health, 17% prioritized employee health, and 14%prioritized community health. An examination of the relationships between the existence of a strategic priority and the provision of health and wellness services demonstrated that having a strategic priority for students' health and well-being was statistically significant for providing health services (80%), student counseling (87%), and recreational activities (75%), (α = .05, p = .001).

Conclusions: Overall, health and well-being at HBCUs are underrepresented strategic priorities and are likely to impact the health and well-being services offered to support students enrolled at HBCUs.
