"The most rewarding part of being a wellness ambassador has been to see employees participate and enjoy the wellness activities..." - Patty Covington-Fleming

"It is rewarding when staff form groups and work together to maintain and establish healthy habits. It’s even more rewarding when staff achieve their health goals..."
Your heart makes life possible. It tirelessly pumps blood throughout your body to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products for the trillions of cells that make you--you!
"I became a Wellness Ambassador because I wanted to share my wellness passion with others in my department. It is rewarding to see others participate and it helps me stay on track!"
Motivation and inspiration have been hard to come by for many this past year. Sometimes a whole new journey can start with just one small step forward, even if that step is in your own home or backyard!
Undergraduate students have great opportunities to gain valuable experience for their future careers right on campus! The Diabetes Prevention Program which is offered through the Safety Services department is one such opportunity for students to take advantage of.
Many of the departments at UC Davis hire student interns to help out with day-to-day tasks and special projects. Through these internships, students can build their resumes with real-world experience and departments can hire extra hands at a lower cost or for free.
At UC Davis, we strive to promote and support a culture of health and well-being throughout our community. These Aggies lowered their risk of Type 2 diabetes and you can too.
