The Wellness Center at Mount Pleasant High School was established especially for teens to help make the best quality health care available in our community more accessible.  Because it's located right in the school, the Wellness Center helps teens overcome many obstacles to receiving good health care - obstacles such as lack of transportation, inconvenient appointment times, or worries about cost and confidentiality.  Your Wellness Center provides comprehensive medical and mental health care, treatment and health education, to promote a healthy lifestyle. The Wellness Center is operated by a partnership that includes Christiana Care, the Brandywine School District and the Delaware Division of Public Health and Social Services.
