The Dimensions of Wellness

At the University of Portland, we define wellness as a state of holistic health that is accompanied by an active and ongoing attention to the 8 dimensions of wellness: Emotional, Physical, Intellectual, Occupational, Spiritual, Environmental, Social, and Financial Wellness. 

We offer programs, events, classes, and more at University of Portland.
