Get to know The Whole U
At the University of Washington, we believe that when our people thrive, our whole community thrives. That’s why The Whole U exists: to support the well-being, growth and connection of UW faculty and staff across every campus and medical center.
Since launching in 2014, The Whole U has grown into one of the most comprehensive employee well-being programs in higher education. As the University’s holistic wellness and engagement program, we serve more than 50,000 employees across UW and UW Medicine with experiences, resources and tools that bring our shared values to life.
We design programs and events within 7 key pillars:

Eat Well. Learn from UW experts, try new recipes and discover tips for fueling your body.
Engaging Interests. Expand your creativity and curiosity through workshops, lectures, sports and cultural opportunities.
Staying Healthy. Access resources for mental health, mindfulness, preventive care and stress management.
Financially Fit. Build knowledge around retirement planning, budgeting and financial wellness.
Life Events & Changes. Navigate personal and professional milestones with resources for every stage of life.
Volunteerism. Give back, fundraise and strengthen our community impact through collective action.
