ISU Earns Healthiest State Award for Employee Health Programs
Iowa State University received the Healthiest State Award at the 2025 Healthiest State Initiative Annual Awards on April 16, taking home the top honor in the large workplace category. Workplaces, individuals, youth, schools, early care sites, and health care providers were recognized for their efforts to improve the physical, social, and mental well-being of Iowans.
Iowa State was recognized for its robust well-being program, which includes activities ranging from healthy eating/nutrition and mindfulness to physical activity and social/mental health.
The nine category winners were awarded monetary gifts to continue their efforts. ISU received a check for $1,000, which will go toward expanding existing programs or creating new healthy programming opportunities to make it easier for ISU employees to make healthy choices.
