Preventive Medicine Club

Involved in promoting health and fitness for Des Moines University students, staff, faculty and surrounding community. Prevention awareness is accomplished through blood pressure screenings, Personal Wellness Profile (PWP), guest lecturers (about preventive medicine and nutrition) and community education. In addition, each spring the Preventive Medicine Club encourages and promotes healthy, active lifestyles of students. Club members also participate in community education by hosting the Food is Medicine booth at the Farmer's Market. This club provides an excellent opportunity for students to work with the Wellness Department in our efforts to increase awareness about the importance of preventing disease through exercise, stress management, health screening and proper nutrition.
