News for Faculty and Staff from Human Resources
|
|
Dear Staff and Faculty,
Recently President Hagelin sent out an e-mail announcing some new consultation opportunities at the Wellness Clinic.
We have become aware of confusion amongst faculty and staff re: which consults they still get for free. Based on the last email sent out about appointments, some thought that ALL consultations were now paid consultations for faculty and staff and cost $75. Please let us clarify.
- Faculty, Staff, and Students still receive 2 free Ayurvedic consultations per year with Dr. Dinesh and the undergraduate students &/or Dr. Davis for general practice or osteopathic concerns.
- After the 2 free appointments with Dr. Dinesh and undergraduate students or Dr. Davis, additional appointments would be $50.
- The integrative special appointments with a Vaidya and a licensed physician are $250 for everyone and follow up appointments are $150.
- Appointments with Dr. Manohar alone are $200 with follow up appointments at $150.
- The economical consults with Master students supervised by a Vaidya and physician which occur during one week /month are $75.
Your Wellness Clinic

Wednesday, October 3
12:00 Noon
Meet in front of the Argiro Student Center
Let's do it again, Iowa!
Our 2018 goal is to have Iowans in all 99 counties take part in 30 minutes of walking on October 3. This will be our fourth consecutive year in the Healthiest State Annual Walk’s history of having registered walks in every county of Iowa!
Walking is one of the most accessible and affordable ways to stay healthy. All you need is a pair of shoes! It’s also a great way to connect with friends and family. Walking together gives us on opportunity to catch up and refresh our minds — and the physical benefits add up, too!
Don't wait until October 3 to walk! Invite a friend or co-worker for an after-lunch walk, take care of weekend errands with your family on foot, or invite your neighbor to start a casual walking group. Along the way you’ll build strong bonds and memories.

How Transcendental Meditation Gives Me Mental Clarity Like Nothing Else
TARA GARDNER
AUGUST 27, 2018
Anything that could open up my brain to the levels of Lynch-imagination was worth investigating. Oh, and add that Katie Perry, Lena Dunham, Kate Hudson, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow (okay, not that surprising), and Oprah all reportedly practice it, my pack-mentality told me there’s got to be something to this. Also, having long been a Seinfeld fan, the fact that the uber cynical Jerry Seinfeld was also a major advocate of the practice, gave me the green light. “You know how your phone has a charger?” he said during an appearance on Good Morning America. “TM is like having a charger for your mind and body.” I was sold.
