Community Health
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says that health and well-being are products not only of the healthcare we receive and the choices we make, but also of the places we live, work, learn, and play. At Quillen, you are not only part of the Quillen Community, but also the University, Tri-cities, Tennessee, United States, and even global communities. Finding your niche will support community health, and it will help your community support you.

ETSU Community Health
Bucky’s Food Pantry - Food Insecurity
Bucky's Food Pantry is unique in that it serves students, staff, and faculty, the
whole of ETSU's community. Food pantries at other universities and colleges only serve
students. And for good reasons: Students need all the help they can get while they're
in college earning degrees to set them up for future success in their careers. However,
our staff and faculty at ETSU can be food insecure, too. For that reason, the pantry
is open to students, faculty, staff, alumni, and retirees.
