- UT System Wellness Program Online -- provides programs to help manage health conditions, free health coaching, gym membership discounts and a free 24/7 nurse line

During the celebration, employees won door prizes including Nancy Woodward (Taylor body fat and weight scale), Pam Bacon (Biggest Loser: 6 Weeks to a Healthier You), Denise Garcia (MIO heart-rate monitor), Mary Lou Aguilar (Barry's Boot Camp series) and Georgette Sano (GAIAM stability ball, band and DVD).
