The goal of the Wellness Program is to promote employee well-being through services and programs that relate to the six dimensions of wellness: social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, environmental, and physical.
Wellness is a way of life aimed at reducing the risk of serious lifestyle-related diseases. Living a wellness lifestyle means taking responsibility for how one lives and the choices one makes concerning total well-being.
