Established in 2022, the HealthEU initiative aims to empower every individual in our university community to actively implement and integrate wellness values in their daily lives, with their peers and in their greater purpose by providing access to resou rces, educational tools and support through the six dimensions of well-being. This will help Elon become a national model for programs, research and dialogues promoting resilience, belonging and all aspects of lifelong personal wellness.
