Mission Statement

The University Faculty and Staff Wellness Program assists employees in reducing their health risks through education, goal setting, outreach events and referrals. We offer a personalized approach to healthy living designed to improve the health status and quality of life in the university community.

What is Wellness?

Wellness is a state of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual balance and not just the absence of disease. Health promotion and activities optimize stress levels so as to prevent disease in the long term. Aging over the life span can be a healthful process. Your University Faculty and Staff Wellness Program is here to help you take charge of your health and provide the tools by which you can achieve optimal health and wellness through educational offerings and health screenings.

Personal Health Assessment Screenings - Know Your Numbers

The road to good health begins with self-responsibility. Take charge of your health today by participating in a health screening through your Wellness Program. The confidential, voluntary and free baseline screening will provide you with information on your total cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure, and weight and height for you to use when you complete your Personal Health Assessment (PHA) online at www.yourplanforhealth.com You can schedule a screening and plan for a 12-hour fast prior to coming. Once you register online at the above website, please bring your BUCK ID with you to the screening for registration purposes.

Remember - knowledge is empowering!
