We are excited to invite you to our first-ever Health & Wellness Fair on Thursday, October 3, 2024! This event is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of our faculty and staff, and we hope you’ll join us. It’s a drop-in event, so no registration is needed but there is an opportunity to sign-up in advance for limited spaces in some of the planned activities. 

  • Register for an activity: physical therapy session, hands-free Reiki, 20-minute meditation, or 30 minute yoga class. If you sign up, please ensure you keep your appointment or release it if you cannot attend as spots are limited!
  • Register for a Flu shot (walk-ins are welcome). Regular dose and high-dose vaccines will be available, with the option to bill insurance or pay out-of-pocket ($36 for regular, $69 for high-dose). More information about the vaccines and billing will be provided at the clinic.

What to Expect:

  • Wellness Resources: Connect with representatives from UMass Lowell Benefits, ComPsych (EAP), TIAA, Fidelity Investments, and Wellpoint (formerly UniCare). 
  • Health Services: Meet with the Greater Lowell Health Alliance for general health resources and get your seasonal flu vaccine (see details below). 
  • Interactive Activities: Engage in physical therapy sessions, yoga, reiki, guided meditation, therapy dogs, chair yoga, and chair massages. 
  • Healthy Habits: Learn ways to improve your work-life balance and overall wellness. 
  • Fun and Giveaways: Enjoy rock painting for the Garden of Hope, free blood pressure screenings, ergonomic advice, raffles, and door prizes. Don’t miss a chance to snap a photo with Rowdy!
