About LiveWell OU

The University of Oklahoma offers a robust wellness program, focusing on the eight dimensions of wellness: Physical, Financial, Spiritual, Emotional, Social, Intellectual, Occupational, and Environmental. Each of these areas contributes an important facet of our overall well-being.

With the January 2020 launch of the tri-campus program, LiveWell OU, the university’s overall wellness initiative continues to evolve as we work to support a healthy lifestyle throughout the OU community. LiveWell OU brings together the three previous employee wellness programs, Norman and Tulsa’s OU Wellness, HSC and Tulsa’s Healthy Sooners, and OU Physicians and OU Medical Center’s OU Fit, for a unified well-being program to serve all OU employees.

The LiveWell OU program utilizes the customizable FitThumb wellness portal for much of its programming, challenges, and management of incentives.

If you have any questions about LiveWell OU, please contact the team at wellness@ou.edu or wellness@ouhsc.edu.
