What We Do
The Wellness Center provides accurate and current information about health and wellness topics to the UIC community to encourage students, staff, and faculty to make healthy choices that integrate knowledge and understanding with their own personal values and a sense of community responsibility. Wellness information is shared through a variety of services, including large scale events, weekly events, workshops, and printed material.
The Center philosophy is to address wellness holistically, embracing 8 dimensions of well-being.
Mission
The Wellness Center exists to assist members of the UIC community in developing and maintaining optimal well-being: Wellness.
What is Wellness?
Wellness is more than the absence of illness. It is a dynamic process that involves several dimensions of wellness; each important to overall well being.
Our model embraces the eight dimensions of wellness: intellectual, social, spiritual, occupational, physical, sexual, environmental, and emotional and the interaction among them.
