Wellness Vending Machine
The Student Health Center is pleased to announce the installation of a new “wellness” vending machine on campus.
The vending machine is located in Lane University Center (LUC) on the 1st floor, near the ATM machine. The machine is accessible during operational hours of the Lane Center.
The machine will be regularly stocked with over-the-counter medications and wellness products. The machine will accept payment via Cash/coin. Several items are “free” of charge however, we encourage those items to be limited to one item per transaction as some supplies may be limited.
Below is a chart with the products available including cost:
