Objective: This study provides an understanding of the strategic priority of health and well-being for students, employees, and the community at the 109 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) has been understudied. Methods: Secondary data analysis of 89 publicly posted HBCUs' strategic plans was used to identify institutional priorities regarding the health and well-being of students, employees, and the community. 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%), ([alpha] = 0.05, p = 0.001). 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.
