Our Story
The Health and Wellness Center was initiated in 2006 as the American University of Beirut (AUB) Wellness Program. Its initiation came in response to several important AUB community health needs and issues, thus ranking it as the first university wellness program in Lebanon and the region. The program intends to create a healthier study and work environment by providing the AUB community with programs, facilities, services, and incentives that promote and support healthy lifestyle choices.
Over the past years, the program proved its success especially since it was aligned with AUBMC’s 2020 Vision in terms of creating clinical, educational, and research centers of excellence. In 2015, the program was expanded to a Health and Wellness Center (HWC), and we started introducing evidence-based integrative health services.
The Health and Wellness Center is part of the Department of Family Medicine at AUBMC, and it fulfills AUBMC’s mission by delivering the highest quality of care. It provides a platform for both wellness and integrative health services, which fall under three main arms: Academic and Research, Wellness Services, and AUB Wellness Program.
