The College of DuPage Wellness Program is committed to raising the awareness level of living a healthy lifestyle for each individual at the college. In moving into the 21st century, people are learning that to maintain health and enjoy well-being, we need to do more than just exercise and eat right.

Today, people understand the value of working with qualified health professionals in determining their own health care needs and are taking more responsibility to inform themselves through up-to-date medical information. People also are acknowledging their need for lifestyle enhancement and are taking action to move out of their current state of "not well" and into their desired state of well-being.

Well-being involves an increased level of mental understanding and body awareness, a need to make a commitment while taking the steps necessary for effective and healthy lifestyle changes, and embracing the values that provide the motivation and support needed to achieve and maintain healthy lifestyle outcomes.

The Employee Wellness program, Balanced Lifestyles, was created in 1999 with a basic belief that people have a natural desire and ability to seek out healthy behaviors. In support of this belief, Balanced Lifestyles provides effective lifestyle tools and resources that employees can use for benefit and support so they can efficiently work with their desires and abilities while reaching healthy lifestyle goals.
