Health & Wellness Committee
About the Committee
The SPH Health & Wellness Committee began in 2013 under the leadership of Dr. Marcia Ory and with representation from faculty, staff and students.
The mission of the SPH Health & Wellness Committee is to emphasize, encourage, and engage the School of Public Health community to make healthier lifestyle choices through individual and organizational change.
The goal of the committee is to enhance health and wellness throughout the entire School of Public Health. This can best be accomplished through health promotion and disease prevention activities at multiple socio-ecological levels (e.g., individual, organizational, environmental, and policy).
