Employee Wellness: Your health, supported
The Osher Center for Integrative Health (OCIH) partners with University Human Resource Management and Hospital & Clinics Human Resources to offer all University of Utah employees access to programs, services, and resources that support individual wellness journeys. This partnership also aims to foster the University’s culture of wellness through the Ecosystem of Health Campus programming.
WellU Program
WellU is the employee wellness program for University of Utah academic main campus and health science academic employees.
WellU aims to inspire and empower employees to thrive when they’re ready to make positive lifestyle changes by offering concierge wellness support, individualized services, and evidence-based programs.
To participate in the WellU Program during the 2025/2026 plan year, complete the WellU requirements before July 1, 2025:

Here, they will collaborate with the Osher Team to develop an individualized care plan that aligns with the WellU program's qualifications and addresses the employee's specific health journey needs.
