About the Anschutz Health and Wellness CenterThe Anschutz Health and Wellness Center resides within the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The Anschutz Health and Wellness Center (AHWC) is an interdisciplinary center whose overarching goals impact the campus while building towards sustainability. Either of these alone is insufficient. We strive to achieve both. Top researchers work side-by-side with clinicians to develop and deliver wellness and weight loss programs and work with patients, providers, students and trainees, employees, and researchers to take these programs beyond the Center's walls into communities. The Center's mission is "to collaborate with campus partners to develop and deliver programs and services targeting physical activity, nutrition, and mental well-being that enhance the lives of people who come here."

The Center's vision is "a campus where wellness is a foundation of everything we do." All endeavors at the Center are focused on this vision. An integrated approach with a shared philosophy is core to the development of the Center's programs. These programs strive to involve every area of the business, including wellness clinic services, the fitness center, and the metabolic and demonstration kitchens. Without this integration, it is impossible to achieve the vision that catalyzed the Center's development. The Center serves as a "learning lab" for creating a model of standard care for wellness centers that can be replicated and exported.
