Wellness Ambassadors act as liaisons between their departments and the University of Iowa Employee Wellness Program -- UI Wellness.

UI Wellness is one of the programs of UI WorkLife. Wellness Ambassadors play a vital role in supporting UI Wellness’ mission to promote lifestyle improvements that support good health and improve quality of life. Because they know their coworkers and work area, Ambassadors are advantaged in motivating their colleagues to achieve healthier lifestyles. They act as both champions of wellness and catalysts for change, providing opportunities for the University of Iowa co-workers to increase their energy level, enjoy more productive work days, and ultimately feel better about themselves.
