Faculty & Staff Health & Well-being

Creating a campus culture that supports and encourages the health and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff.

Risk Services strives to create a healthy campus community and work environment for faculty and staff through the Faculty & Staff Wellness Program by creating integrated programs and services designed to provide tools and skills for leading healthy lifestyles and preventing injury and illness.

UCSC is proud to have met American Heart Association criteria for Gold recognition in the AHA’s 2024 Well-being Works Better Scorecard. This is the first year UCSC has received Gold recognition. The American Heart Association has defined best practices for employers to use to build a culture of health and well-being for their workforce. The American Heart Association’s Workforce Well-being Scorecard measures the extent to which the company has implemented those best practices. Companies recognized at the Gold level have achieved a score of 183 – 216 out of a maximum 230 points. See www.heart.org/workforce for more information.
