Our Mission

Our mission is to strengthen the culture of well-being at the NIH. Our goal is to help employees pursue a healthy lifestyle and achieve wellness.

What We Do

The NIH Health and Wellness Council is a team of NIH volunteers. They help establish a model where healthy behaviors are the norm at work. This includes support from policies, initiatives, peer support, and scientific information. We also advise the Director Office of Research Services (ORS) and the NIH Deputy Director for Management on matters related to NIH employee health and wellness.
