Our Well-U team is excited to help your department on the road to wellness.

A great place to start is by requesting a Well-U Overview: A Well-U representative can present to your group about all of the Well-U programs that employees can participate in. This overview is typically 15-20 minutes long. Submit a request for a Well-U Overview using our Department Request Form.

There are many other department programs available, as well. Learn more about these options below, or request a class for your department with our Department Request Form.
