UAB Employee Wellness Appreciation Month

During the month of June we are ready to celebrate you! 

UAB Employee Wellness Appreciation Month (EWAM) is a FREE,  month-long program centered around fitness, wellness, and nutrition that focus to improve the healthy lifestyles of the UAB employees. We partner with Employee Wellness to make this happen!

Each Monday in June, participants will receive an email related to that specific weekly theme, where they will have an opportunity to learn something new, or to be challenged in a fun, engaging way, and ultimately, to become a better version of themselves!

Participants will also be able to access the Campus Recreation Center for the month of June, Monday - Friday 11 am - 1 pm!
