Who is your Wellness Hero?

Is there someone on your team or in your department that is a champion for health and wellness? 

Nominate them as a Wellness Hero!

Wellness Heroes is a program to recognize University of Iowa faculty and staff members who are practicing healthy behaviors that are inspiring to others in the workplace. Wellness Heroes are nominated because they are contributing to a culture of health and well-being at the University of Iowa. 

A Wellness Hero inspires those around them to be healthier. To acknowledge their efforts, a Wellness Hero will be awarded a certificate, the official Wellness Hero prize, and highlighted in the quarterly liveWELL Newsletter.

Eligibility
Any faculty or staff member can nominate any other faculty or staff member. 
A nominated person must meet the following criteria:
  • Making a positive impact in health and wellness in their workplace through a demonstrated behavior or attitude 
  • Be a UI employee
  • Give permission to share their nomination on social media (Facebook and Twitter) and the quarterly liveWELL Newsletter.

Nomination Process
