ÐÔÊÓ½ç

ÐÔÊÓ½ç is thrilled to invite you to our 2nd annual Wellness In Action Festival! This event will inspire our community to prioritize health and wellness as we work together to combat the leading health challenge impacting the 29203 area.

Beyond our campus, we are committed to making a meaningful impact in the surrounding community. Through the ÐÔÊÓ½ç Health & Wellness Ambassadors, our students lead initiatives that educate and inspire K-12 students in the 29203 community, which faces significant health disparities, including one of the highest densities of poverty in South Carolina and one of the highest rates of diabetic amputation in the entire nation. By promoting healthy habits, mental wellness, and overall well-being, we empower the next generation with knowledge and tools for lifelong success.

Throughout April: Student Health Ambassador Experience

ÐÔÊÓ½ç’s health ambassadors will collaborate with students from nearby elementary, middle, and high schools to develop health ambassadors for their own schools in the community. These students will learn valuable wellness strategies and share them with their peers. During their visit to ÐÔÊÓ½ç, they will:

• Learn how to prevent diabetes through exercise sessions with our athletic coaches and students.
• Participate in healthy food demonstrations led by our chefs.
• Take a campus tour and explore career opportunities in health-related fields.
