Well-Being Senior Project Manager

Mission Statement

Michigan Medicine improves the health of patients, populations, and communities through excellence in education, patient care, community service, research, and technology development, and through leadership activities in Michigan, nationally, and internationally. Our mission is guided by our Strategic Principles and has three critical components: patient care, education, and research that together enhance our contribution to society.

The Office of Well-Being (OWB) is dedicated to implementing well-being initiatives across the medical school and Michigan Medicine in alignment with the collaborative goals of the office and its institutional partners. Our aim is to empower all individuals and teams who investigate, work, and learn at Michigan Medicine to use and build their expertise to drive our purpose of seamlessly advancing healthcare as a team
