The intent of the workplace HealthEYou Program for metabolic disease prevention is to promote healthy eating behaviors, physical activity, goal setting, accountability and overall well-being among Elon University staff and faculty through weekly engaging education sessions, individual check-ins and exercise in Fall of 2021.

Associate Professor Svetlana Nepocatych and Lecturer Liz Bailey and their students are developing an intervention program for the fall to help interested individuals take control of their health behaviors to positively impact health. To tailor the program to the specific needs and interests of our community, they are seeking input from employees of Elon University.

Alamance Girls in Motion, a program for fourth- and fifth-grade girls offering health education, physical activity and mentorship, and Girls to Empowered Teens, a similar program for sixth- and seventh-grade girls, will be starting at the end of September and are in need of Elon female students to volunteer as mentors.
