Health and Wellness Services
A Message from the Chief Wellness Officer
At the «Ƶ, we know that by embracing well-being we create an environment that leads to improved academic performance, increased retention and graduation rates, higher productivity, and a stronger sense of belonging and mattering.
As champions of well-being, our day-to-day actions elevate our campus community, enabling all members to flourish. My highest priority is to weave well-being into the fabric of our institution. I am confident our innovative approach as a campus situates us to do so efficiently. Under my direction, the signing of the Okanagan Charter is a significant benchmark of our progress already, joining our colleagues across the world as a health promoting university.
I invite you all to familiarize yourself with our work below and join me as we prioritize the health and well-being of our community furthering our ability to lead, innovate and impact—to “Be «Ƶ.”
On Aug. 17, 2023 CU «Ƶ became one of the first 20 U.S. universities to sign the Okanagan Charter, an international charter for health promoting universities and colleges.
AcademicLiveCare (ALC) is a free telehealth platform for all faculty, staff and students to schedule and attend no-cost/no co-pay mental health and medical appointments from home, the office or wherever you are on the go. No insurance needed to receive this completely free benefit.
WorkWell at CU strives to advance a culture of whole-person wellness for the university’s faculty and staff to further promote employee well-being and engagement.
The Division of Well-Being Embedded Program was created to integrate well-being into academic settings and increase education, access, awareness and support within each of CU’s colleges and schools.
