About Heroes for Health

Heroes for Health is committed to enhancing physical, mental and emotional well-being of the university through innovative programs and initiatives.

The  grant program creates opportunities for members of our university community to share ideas and work together in shaping a healthier community. The grant program provides financial support for novel and innovative approaches to support community well-being and promotes partnerships between students, staff and faculty. These grants intend to support the start-up costs to plan and implement well-being initiatives to benefit our university community.

In alignment with the University of Alberta’s Healthy University Strategic Plan , Heroes for Health grants are offered in conjunction between three university areas: Wellness Supports, Campus and Community Recreation and Human Resources Health, Safety and Environment . Together, these partners commit to improving the health and well-being of our university. Wellness Supports is responsible for the coordination and administration of these grants. Funding decisions and approvals are a shared responsibility among the partners.
