B-Healthy | Binghamton University

The mission of the Healthy Campus Initiative is to cultivate a culture and environment of health and well-being that is supportive of individuals and groups in pursuit of their optimal potential.

Join the initiative to make
Binghamton a healthier campus.

The goal of Binghamton University's Healthy Campus Initiative (HCI) is to create an environment and identity that encourages and supports healthy living. Improving the health and well-being of our community and its members improves students' capacity to learn, reduces some of the high-impact impediments to academic performance, improves student retention by improving coping strategies and psychological health, and sets the stage for lifelong healthy living. Workplace wellness for faculty and staff can positively impact employee health and job satisfaction, boost engagement and enhance productivity, resulting in greater employee retention and institutional cost savings.

Steps to B-Healthy

Walking is an easy and effective way to increase activity levels, manage stress and encourage camaraderie. Participants in this free program compete in monthly contests and receive rewards for meeting step goals. Healthier students, faculty and staff mean a healthier University.

Well-being Grant

Funding is available to students, faculty and staff who are taking an active role in the health and well-being of our campus community.

NCHA

The National Collegiate Health Assessment (NCHA) is a survey tool used by many campuses to assess student health behaviors. The survey provides feedback Binghamton University can use to provide better services and support for University students.

Nationally Recognized Initiative

Binghamton University's Healthy Campus Initiative has been recognized both locally and nationally.
