Did you hear about the Act Healthy project this past summer? One hundred MU employees enrolled in Act Healthy in June. We are now enrolling 100 additional people. This project is a research study for MU employees sponsored by Healthy for Life: T.E. Atkins UM Wellness Program.
Research participants will be eligible to receive a total of $40 in gift cards. Individuals in the treatment group will attend 6 group meetings over the lunch hour. Group meetings will be held in the following locations on campus: Ellis Library, University Hospital, Women and Children's Hospital area, Agricultural Engineering Building on Rollins St., and Woodrail Center on Nifong and Forum.
