President Bottomly's Healthy You Announcement Letter
In 1995, Wellesley College, along with 15 Boston-area colleges and universities, formed The Boston Consortium (TBC). One of The Consortium’s initiatives is to keep the health care of its member institutions affordable and accessible by helping employees and their families get and stay healthy. This Health Management Initiative is called Healthy You.

Taking Care of You - Preventive Care
Sharing their Healthy You Stories...The journey to Healthy You is a personal one. Understanding your health and getting healthier positively affects not only your life, but also the lives of those closest to you. Sharing your story can provide powerful inspiration to help another person take the all-important first step to a healthier life. Since the start of Healthy You last fall, a number of our colleagues have taken control of their lives by taking advantage of the biometric screenings and the Health Assessment/Questionnaire and many of the wellness initiatives and programs available on our campus, all with great results. Now, they are sharing their stories on video. See what your colleagues are saying about Healthy You. New stories added by Dawn and Justin here.
