Why Join Us:
The Anschutz Health and Wellness Center resides within the School

The Anschutz Health and Wellness Center (AHWC) is an
interdisciplinary center whose overarching goals are to have an
impact on the campus while building towards sustainability. Either
of these alone is insufficient. We strive to achieve both. Top
researchers work side-by-side with clinicians to develop and
deliver wellness and weight loss programs and work with patients,
providers, students and trainees, employees, researchers to take
these programs beyond the walls of the center into communities. The
mission of the center is "to collaborate with campus partners to
develop and deliver programs and services targeting physical
activity, nutrition, and mental wellbeing that enhance the lives of
people who come here."
The vision of the center is "a campus where wellness is a
foundation of everything we do." All endeavors at the center are
focused on this vision. An integrated approach with a shared
philosophy is core to the development of the center's programs.
These programs strive to involve every area of the business,
including wellness clinic services, the fitness center, and the
metabolic and demonstration kitchens. Without this integration, it
is not possible to achieve the vision that catalyzed the
development of the center. The center serves as a "learning lab"
for creating a model of standard care for wellness centers that can
be replicated and exported.
