The BNMC institutions are working toward creating a sustainable campus and worksite culture that supports active living and healthy nutrition practices. The benefits to employees include an enhanced quality of life, the reduction of chronic disease risk factors, and increased productivity. Overall, the employees will enjoy an environment which is more appealing and conducive to physical activity, as well as a stronger sense of community. The BNMC Wellness Committee made up of staff from each of the member institutions and some of the other entities on the campus oversee this process. Campus-wide wellness activities include:
- Wellness on Wednesdays
- Walking on Wednesdays
- Annual Summer Wellness Block Party
