The Wellness
Group for Staff and Faculty has been in existence since the Spring
of 2001. The primary focus of the Group has been to raise awareness
and exposure of the Swarthmore College community to various wellness
topics of interests. Ultimately we hope that this increased knowledge
will result in better health and wellness for employees.
The Wellness Group is accomplishing this goal through the presentation
of several wellness seminars and mini-series; the sponsorship of
on-going employee paid programs, like T'ai Chi Chih, Yoga,
and Pilates; the annual offering of massages and wellness screenings
at Spring Fling; and the centralized record keeping of wellness
activities occurring on College property. The Wellness Group also
heavily relies on the services of the College's Employee
Assistance Program, Carebridge for the presentation of many
of its programs.
The Wellness Group has formed a wellness partnership between the
College and Independence
Blue Cross to help employees take better advantage of the Healthy
Lifestyles programs Independence Blue Cross has to offer.
