The 2nd Annual WellBAMA T-Shirt Day was held on Friday, August 15th. On this day, Wellness and Work-Life encouraged all UA faculty and staff to wear their favorite WellBAMA T-Shirt all day and show off their commitment to health and wellness.
We received many pictures from individuals and groups sporting their WellBAMA t-shirts from different years. Human Resources had the largest group, and that might be because the team at Wellness and Work-Life reminded everyone in the department multiple times. Hey, we’ll take it! University Recreation came in with the second largest group participating thanks to WellBAMA Ambassador Lindsey Summers.
Some employees wore their 2025 t-shirt while others wore shirts from 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024! Everyone who wore their WellBAMA t-shirt and emailed us photo evidence received WellBAMA swag – sunglasses, sweat towels, dumbbell stress balls, reusable tote bags, and reusable straws.
Laura Dotson deserves a special shoutout for wearing the first ever WellBAMA t-shirt from 2013!
Since 2013, WellBAMA Health Screenings provide benefits-eligible employees an opportunity to dive into health metrics such as, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, and triglycerides.
During a screening, participants also meet with a health coach to interpret health screening results, discuss lifestyle choices that can impact health, and provide resources available on campus and in the community to assist in making positive lifestyle changes. All participants also receive a $50 gift care and one of the coveted WellBAMA t-shirts! Benefit eligible UA employees may attend one WellBAMA health screenings per calendar year.
