Employee Health and Wellness has a wide range of programs designed to help you lead a healthy and happy life. Watch this page for ongoing updates about each of our programs, which are open to all employees! Questions? Email UF Health Wellness Manager, Jon Vredenburg
Healthy Living Programs. Our various programs help you take evidence-based practical steps toward feeling your best every day. From nutrition tips and movement challenges to health coaching and cardiovascular fitness, our programs are designed to fit into your busy schedule. We also have award-winning programs to support healthy living with diabetes as well as high blood pressure.
Intramural Sports. Employee Wellness organizes intramural sports teams as a way to boost camaraderie and promote physical activity. We currently have a corporate basketball team and a flag football team. Both of these teams are in leagues organized by the YMCA. If you would like more details about these teams, or have other sports you are interested in pursuing – please reach out to us at wellness@jax.ufl.edu.
Wellness Champions. Champions to help spread the word about employee wellness initiatives and to serve as liaisons between their department and the wellness program. Wellness Champions should have a passion for wellness and an interest in bringing wellness to their area. All Wellness Champions must secure supervisory approval to act in this role for their department. This is a voluntary role and should not interfere with primary job duties. Wellness Champions should expect to work approximately one to two hours per month on the responsibilities outlined below. Register here: https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b94BOlepI4Pyg4e
Nutrition Counseling. If you want to build a healthier relationship with food but aren’t sure where to start, speak with a Registered Dietitian at no cost to you! Nutrition Counseling is available via zoom or in person (Jacksonville) to focus on nutrition and related health topics like healthy eating, meal planning, weight management, and more.
And so much more…exercise classes, meal prep services, massage, lending library, and financial wellness, just to name a few.
