In order to maximize the value of the resources available to faculty and staff across the enterprise, the Samueli Office of Wellbeing established a Wellness Council. This council meets quarterly to share ideas and explore opportunities to combine resources. The goal is to have representation from every group within UCI Health that is involved with supporting the wellbeing of employees and to increase communication and collaboration among them.
