LIU Post
PA-11: Wellness Program

Living Well with LIU, the University’s wellness program, promotes healthier lifestyle choices that lead to improvements in both the physical and mental health of the institution’s employees. The program offers health education seminars and workshops; health screenings; health risk assessments; on-site behavior-change programs addressing issues like weight management and smoking cessation; and incentive programs for the improvement of health and fitness behaviors. It also sponsors special events in connection with national health observances and distributes wellness and other self-help information through print and/or electronic means. In addition to making a positive impact on employees’ personal health, the program, which encourages employees to band together to participate in fun activities, leads to the development of healthy relationships and improves the morale of the University as a whole. Students are also offered counseling, referral, and wellbeing services. The LIU Post Counseling Center offers students free counseling services. Medical Services offers students medical care including diagnosis and treatment, birth control counseling and pregnancy tests, gynecological examinations and treatment, and referrals, if necessary, to local specialists. Campus nutritionists also offer students weight loss advice, nutrition assessments, tips about cooking and food shopping, diabetes education, and much more.
