What It Is

In support of USC’s unifying value of well-being, the Health & Well-being Program focuses on creating a health promoting university. This includes: health promotion and education, creating an infrastructure for a culture of health, and influencing campus practices, policies, and systems to support a healthy environment. The program encourages USC faculty and staff to live healthier lifestyles and create a culture of health and well-being throughout USC.

What It Is

The Health & Well-being Program coordinates activities and events that encourage faculty and staff to live healthy lifestyles and foster a culture of health throughout the campus. Through a holistic approach to well-being – which includes physical, emotional, social/community, purpose/spiritual, environmental/sustainability, occupational/intellectual, financial/legal, and safety, support, and compliance – we promote a balance of these domains to positively impact overall health.
