This organization strives to raise awareness of lifestyle medicine and promote the adoption of healthy lifestyles by members of the Ohio University campus, Athens community and surrounding communities. This organization will do so through the implementation of a variety of fun, educational activities as chosen by the Lifestyle Medicine Club members. This organization hosts free health screenings for Heritage College students and faculty once per semester and yoga sessions every few weeks.
Tentative Schedule for 2025-2026
At this time, we are planning to hold a Cultural Food Day in the fall to celebrate global diversity through healthy, plant-forward dishes and educational materials. We also plan to host an Outdoor Activity Day in the spring to promote physical activity and social connection in a natural setting. A collaborative event with the school’s Wellness Director will be held in the spring semester, focusing on stress reduction, mindfulness, and other key pillars of lifestyle medicine. Events will mainly be financed with club dues.
