The Staying Well at Grinnell program began during the spring of 1986. The primary
purpose of the program stated then, "to promote positive change in individual health
status," still holds true today. The program continues its dedication to
faculty, staff, and administration wellness by offering opportunities in
medical assessment, health education, reimbursement for off-campus wellness activities, and a variety of on-going programs.
Staying Well encourages employees to take advantage of college facilities,
programs, and equipment in order to meet personal recreation, sport, and
health and fitness goals. If an employee is eligible for fee reimbursement for off-campus wellness activity (see Participation Policy,) please click link below, print FORM A, and complete the top of the form, what program you would like approved, and the amount you plan to spend. Send the completed form to Barbara Waite, PEC.
