“Our health is what we make of it – give it attention and it improves, give it none and it subsides.” – John F. Demartini
Simmons University is committed to the health and well-being of faculty and staff. As you know, wellness not only helps at a personal level by improving health and well-being, it also can help the College save on future health care costs. The everyday choices we make like having our annual physical, quitting smoking and taking the stairs can make a big difference.
