University Health Management

Text reading ‘Together, healthy’ on a blue background

The University of Erfurt is committed to the health of its students and staff. Against this backdrop, it has introduced a university-wide health promotion programme, within the framework of which various initiatives have been developed and implemented. With the support of AOK PLUS as a partner, the health promotion programme is to be further developed into a sustainable university health management system. In addition to consolidating and supplementing tried-and-tested individual preventive programmes and initiatives, the focus in future will increasingly be on processes that bring together the areas of health, collaboration, general appreciation, communication, leadership behaviour, human resources management, further education and work organisation, and which will lead to a vibrant culture of the ‘Healthy University of Erfurt’.
