Health and well-being

Building health and well-being is an active process that enables people to make sound decisions and choices toward successful lives. Beyond critical care and the absence of illness, what can VCU do to support the health and well-being of our community members? This working group will explore these challenges and as they relate to the integration of programs and policy approaches to benefit patients, students, staff, faculty and a more resilient community.
