WELL-BEING PROGRAMS
Our well-being programs include health screening, coaching and information including nutrition, diabetes prevention, tobacco cessation, mental health, and mindfulness.
In addition, each Georgia State campus – Atlanta, Alpharetta, Clarkston, Decatur, Dunwoody, and Newton – has a Panther Trail, i.e., a designated route to encourage walking and activity throughout the workday and during non-work hours.
Healthy Lifestyles is Georgia State’s eMagazine for upcoming health and wellness events, healthy recipes, videos on meditation, yoga and stretching, and much more.
