SVSU participates in the Exercise is Medicine on Campus (EIMC) a nonprofit initiative launched by the American College of Sports and Medicine and the American Medical Association, and recently endorsed by the Surgeon General. We recognize that exercise and physical activity are important to health and treatment of diseases and we encourage our campus to establish lifelong exercise and physical activity habits that can significantly improve quality of life.

Our Health U Wellness Program is dedicated to helping make positive and lasting changes in healthy living. We do so by offering rewards for individual exercise minutes as well as participation in programs and workshops focused on our three primary components of healthy living: education, prevention, and exercise.

Saginaw Valley State University's Healthy U program is recognized as a Gold Level Recipient of the American Heath Association's Fit-Friendly Worksites Recognition Program.
