The days are getting (a little) warmer. The first buds are sprouting on tree branches. The Polar Vortex is a distant memory. Time to start thinking about getting back outside and focusing on health and wellness. DePaul Human Resources is committed to helping you achieve a healthy lifestyle.
The 2019 Healthy Vincent’s Wellness Program is designed to encourage good habits that promote overall health and well-being. Let spring be the time to schedule appointments and plan for a year of healthy living. Get your teeth cleaned. Set up a DePaul 403(b) financial planning session. Make an appointment for that annual checkup with your doctor.
