Positive Health Profile The University of Iowa consistently demonstrates a health profile that is very positive compared to State of Iowa and National norms. Benchmark data indicates that individuals who are not physically active spend $300 more in annual direct medical costs compared to those who are physically active. Thus a focus of liveWELL programming is around the value of exercise and movement throughout the day.

Benefits of physical activity include: • Weight management

Building Resilience @Iowa: In response to changing workforce needs as a result of the early retirement program, efficiency study implementations, and rapid growth in a number of organizational units, a theme of Resilience was adopted for the year with focus on building individual resilience.

• 2,000 views of resilience education on myquickcoach • 32 presentations campus-wide to over 750 participants

Walking meetings are a way to build more physical activity into the day.

• 80% of participants report increased workplace satisfaction as a result of Resilience workshop • Quarterly Resilience features in liveWELL newsletter

“The presentation couldn’t have been better planned to support our team members personally and professionally given changes that have been occurring lately. We will request again, as they really found it beneficial and was a refreshing change from the traditional team meeting format.”

Sustained Good Health Through a population approach to health management, health and well‑being services benefit people and impact the University in a number of positive ways.

A five-year review indicates sustained healthy behaviors in a number of areas captured in the Personal Health Assessment. A notable area of improvement is in how UI faculty and staff report their nutrition habits. Much of this change is attributed to the University environment and the broader community in terms of highlighting healthy nutrition choices.

One campus example is the UChoose™ program that identifies healthy food options in campus dining locations. Greater awareness of how food impacts energy levels and overall health is a consistent theme throughout liveWELL programs.

Changing the Food Culture at UI Success at the local level

Wellness Ambassadors Deb Pfab and Laura Knosp, at The Institute for Clinical and Translational Science within UI Health Care, have successfully introduced a daily salad club to their work group. Each week, members sign up to bring an item: greens, toppings, veggies, or dressings. Daily, a buffet-style, colorful variety of healthy combinations is presented allowing for a healthful lunch as well as the opportunity to try out some new foods. According to one Salad Club member, “I used to spend 20 or so minutes every night of the week packing the next day’s lunch. Now I bring my food in on Monday and lunch is handled for the whole week! It saves me so much time!”
