Wellness Works is a worksite wellness initiative coordinated by faculty, staff, and student affiliates of the Nutrition and Wellness Research Center. The primary work is coordinated by a service learning partnership with a Kinesiology course (HS 380) focused on worksite health promotion. Students work in groups to help plan and promote worksite wellness programming at ISU. Interns and graduate students extend the reach of the programming by building mutually beneficial partnerships with other area businesses. The Wellness Works group is positioned to assist the Healthiest ISU Initiative and the Healthiest Ames Initiative build more comprehensive worksite wellness programming in area worksites.
