About the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center
The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center (AHWC), established within the CU School of Medicine, opened in April 2012. Our vision is a campus where wellness is the foundation of everything we do. To foster this vision, the staff of the AHWC collaborate with campus partners to utilize the power and science of movement, nutrition, and mental well-being to enrich the health and wellness of our community. The AHWC serves as a campus resource that provides support and a space for innovation and collaboration for researchers, clinicians, patients, students, campus employees, and community members. The AHWC has five core areas of focus including clinical research, clinical medicine, campus/community programs, training and education, and the fitness center.
These core areas utilize the physical infrastructure of the AHWC including the metabolic kitchen, fitness center, clinic, meeting rooms/board rooms, green roof, and 3rd and 4th floor office space.
