Healthy for Life, the T.E. Atkins UM Wellness Program, has the long-term goal of developing a world-class wellness program for the university. A steering committee and a work group were appointed in June of 2004, and early accomplishments included the delivery of an online health risk assessment to more than 1,000 UMHC employees.
Long range goals include outreach to all UM campuses and affiliate hospitals, as well as the implementation of a research committee for the dissemination of knowledge for public education.
Laura Schopp, Director of the TE Atkins Wellness Program, discusses the many facets of the program and ways that it has been beneficial in promoting the health and wellness of the university´s most important asset—its employees.
