Wellness Center History
The Lewis Goodhouse Community Wellness Center houses UTTC's Department of Community Wellness Services, which offers mainstream and holistic wellness practices by a combined staff of employees in student health, counseling, chemical health, dormitory wellness, and the college's athletic and fitness programs.
The facility is the focal location for a long-range initiative to improve and sustain the health and wellness of members of the campus community.
The Lewis Goodhouse Wellness Center is named after one of the college's founders. Goodhouse was chairman of the Devils Lake Sioux Tribe, Fort Totten, North Dakota (presently the Spirit Lake Nation) from 1957 to 1972. He was responsible for changing the tribe's name from "Fort Totten Tribe," to "Devils Lake Sioux Tribe."
As one of the original signers of the charter that created United Tribes of North Dakota, he helped organize United Tribes Educational Technical Center (UTETC), as the college was known then.
