"Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages."
Healthy individuals–physically, mentally, and socially–are key to any sustainable community, and the University takes pride in the work it is doing to ensure that students, staff, and faculty are healthy. This includes free access to the Northern Sports Centre for staff and a nominal rate for students, to ensuring on-site counselling, to medical benefits plans, to providing engaging social events such as potluck lunches and dinners through the First Nations Centre. Our research expands across a number of areas such as indigenous health (the Northern Collaborative Centre for Indigenous Health – national, collaboration), healthy aging in place (the Centre for Technology Adoption for Aging in the North - local), the UNBC Health Research Institute (local) and the Northern Medical Program along with Physical and Occupational Therapy education (regional).
