Why is IUPUI Involved?
Chancellor Bantz said, “Yes,” when the Indiana State Department of Health challenged IUPUI to get on board and make it the healthiest university in Indiana. At IUPUI, we realize, as does the state, that poor health too often costs Hoosiers years and quality of life. Collectively, our unhealthy status costs us jobs and income and raises our health insurance costs. Personally, I have found that sometimes we don’t realize how much better we can feel when we start taking better care of our health, so any tools that can help us do that are worth trying.
