Rowdy New U Wellness Program

The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to establish a work environment that promotes healthy lifestyles, reduces the risk of disease, and enhances the quality of life.

The UTSA Wellness Program encourages all university personnel and their families to enhance their health and well-being through educational opportunities, wellness activities and self-improvement.

14

Rowdy New U Wellness Program

Wellness is more than identifying risk factors and providing screening tests

Wellness is a plain and simple choice to integrate mind, body and spirit in an effort to enhance our health and vitality

The leading causes of death are preventable but an individual’s physical well-being is historically low on the priority list. Many are more interested in the health and performance of their computers than themselves

15

Wellness Program’s Objective

UTSA Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management provides the “Rowdy New U” Wellness Program service for UTSA faculty and staff.  This program will highlight the six dimensions of wellness:  physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and environmental.  People seeking overall wellness must develop each of these dimensions.  UTSA makes this investment in its employees’ overall wellness to improve employee morale, increase employee productivity, and reduce absenteeism.
