New Look, Same Commitment: Share Your Path to Wellness

As Duke’s employee wellness program unveils a new logo, share your physical, social or mental health story and win a chance at a wellness prize

The Live for Life logo features five interconnected circles featuring symbols for nutrition, mental well-being, physical activity, fulfillment and purpose, and environment and culture
LIVE FOR LIFE's new logo features symbols that reflect its commitment to Duke staff and faculty's wellness.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of Duke’s fitness and well-being programs offered by LIVE FOR LIFE, the employee wellness program, were shelved. Team members were redeployed to manage more pressing contact tracing and support safety efforts for staff and faculty who tested positive for COVID-19.  

LIVE FOR LIFE has since returned to its full slate of fitness, wellness, nutrition and lifestyle services and programs to support employees in living a healthy and fulfilling life. If you’ve joined in-person or individual Run/Walk Club, attended a Pets at Duke event for some animal therapy or listened in on a 15-minute Mindful Moment session, you’ve seen some of the enhanced offerings.

Now, LIVE FOR LIFE’s visual identity will reflect its robust array of offerings. The new logo features images that symbolize its core focus areas: food and nutrition, mental and emotional well-being, physical activity and movement, fulfillment and purpose, and environment and culture.

“Our new logo symbolizes a fresh start and a renewed commitment to employee wellness in a changing world,” said Senior Program Manager Julie Joyner. “The pandemic heightened awareness around mental and physical health and employee needs, and expectations around wellness have changed. Our rebranding reflects our growth, adaptability and the Duke community’s renewed focus on well-being.”

As part of the fresh start, Working@Duke invites staff and faculty to share their stories and experiences related to physical, social and mental health wellness. How have you taken steps to improve your health and well-being, and how has LIVE FOR LIFE supported you? Participants who respond by Nov. 25, 2024, will be entered into a random drawing for a chance to win 500 LIVE FOR LIFE Dollars to select merchandise from the LIVE FOR LIFE store.
