Promising Practices - UC Berkeley's Systemic Approach to Exercise is Medicine®: A Campus Movement PDF

The University of California, Berkeley’s Exercise is Medicine® On Campus (EIM-OC) initiative transcends traditional wellness programs by embedding holistic health into the campus culture. This initiative enhances physical health and integrates mental, emotional, and social wellness, creating a multi-dimensional approach to student health. Furthermore, unlike many institutions that primarily focus on individual health improvements, UC Berkeley employs a systemic approach that includes multiple campus stakeholders. This elevates their EIM program to a model of comprehensive, community-focused wellbeing.
