Jackie Rodriguez, Health Promotion Director
Caite Lenahan, LHE Graduate Intern
Our Vision: Help everyone to be as well as they can be!
Our Mission: To create and sustain a culture of well-being that supports personal growth and vitality through a strong community.
Well-being is much more than merely physical health, exercise or nutrition. As a pathway to optimal living, it is the full integration of mind, body and spirit. The holistic model used by our campus was developed by Dr. Bill Hettler, co-founder of the National Wellness Institute (NWI) and includes social, emotional, spiritual, occupational, intellectual and physical well-being. Each of these six dimensions act and interact in a way that contributes to our own quality of life.
