Participating in Live Better offers a meaningful opportunity for University Health employees to give back to the community through various ways. One of the ways employees can participate this year is through employee-led fundraising events that benefit the United Way, the University Health Foundation, or both. By attending or hosting these events, employees contribute to making a tangible impact in the lives of our patients, staff and the community we serve while enhancing employee engagement and promoting a culture of philanthropy at University Health.

Join us in celebrating 17 years giving united by attending an employee-led fundraising event. From bake sales and talent shows to professional headshots, there is always something fun to do for University Health team members during Live Better. All event proceeds will benefit a Foundation or United Way Fund.
