More than 500 staff and faculty members across the university and Michigan Medicine currently volunteer as MHealthy Champions. Hundreds of employees also serve on Wellness Committees. Both help to support a culture of well-being in their units and departments and foster connection among their co-workers. They also help to identify their coworkers’ interests and find programs and resources that best fit their well-being needs.
