App State’s commitment to employee well-being is reflected in the ongoing collaboration between Health Promotion for Faculty and Staff (HPFS) and campus partners to provide convenient, on-campus preventive health services. Through annual events like general health screenings and seasonal flu vaccine clinics, faculty and staff are encouraged to prioritize their health—without needing to leave campus.
These events are designed to reduce access barriers, promote early detection, and connect participants with valuable wellness resources. Whether you're looking to check in on your vital signs, explore mental health support, or stay protected during flu season, these offerings help meet you where you are in your health journey.
2025-2026 Employee Health Events
App State employees are invited to participate in free health and wellness opportunities offered throughout the year:
