Mission Statement
Who is eligible?
All benefits-eligible employees of Washburn University, Washburn Institute of Technology, and Washburn University Foundation may participate in the Employee Wellness Program.
The purpose of the Wellness Program is to facilitate an environment encouraging faculty and staff to enhance their health. Washburn University has made a substantial investment in this program, but it is really an investment in you. Most of us spend almost as much time with our work family as we do with our own family. We are attached to, invested in, and care about each other. Our wish for every member of the Washburn employee family is to be happy and healthy.
Your wellness has direct benefits to Washburn University beyond how much we care about you as a person. Your health and wellness helps our university enjoy a level of energy and drive allowing us to be a culture of achievement and excellence. We want you to be at the top of your game and your health is an essential element.
If you are part of the Wellness Program, we are delighted you want to continue. Recruit a co-worker. If you are new or considering participation, just start. Do what you can to enjoy a better life.
Jerry Farley
With better health, we can more fully engage in the kind of lives we want and can do so for longer, with less disease and illness. We also tend to be more content and productive, while enjoying time off for vacations instead of sick days. Choosing to invest in our health is the single most important decision we can make because it directly affects every area of life.
To serve this end, Washburn University’s Employee Wellness Program offers numerous wellness services, activities, and events to support you in your health goals. I hope you’ll take advantage of these opportunities to learn more about the simple nutrition, exercise, and stress management choices that will create a lifetime of health.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions or if there is some other way I can help you in your endeavors.
Toward health,
Brent Trammell
