Wellness Heroes

Wellness Heroes is a program to recognize 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. 

Any faculty of staff member can nominate any other faculty or staff member. 

A nominated person must meet the following criteria: 

• Make 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 (Twitter) and the quarterly liveWELL newsletter.
