Institutional Wellness Committee

The Institutional Wellness Committee (IWC) oversees a comprehensive and coordinated program for wellness-focused activities targeted to be responsive to all individuals in the EVMS community.

Members are knowledgeable about current issues and perspectives on wellness and well-being for academic medical centers. They support and engage in wellness activities as well.

Member roles and responsibilities

The EVMS IWC accomplishes its mission using a diverse group of members providing a broad representation of the institution. Committee members may be invited to a system of subgroups organized around the primary functional areas of institutional wellness. Committee members represent their respective areas of work and function(s) (e.g., departments/programs/units) and provide subject matter expertise critical to the IWC effort. They perform the function of developing the goals and objectives that are core to the EVMS wellness mission.
