The University of the Free State (UFS) recently celebrated the launch of the Health and Wellness Centre, which is the amalgamation of the Kovsies HIV/AIDS Centre, Staff Wellness and Kovsie Health, including Kovsie Social Work Services. It was realised that the services of these departments overlap and that more could be achieved in unity. The purpose of the centre is the pursuit of optimal health and wellness as an active, lifelong process of becoming aware of choices and making of decisions towards a more balanced and fulfilling life, allowing the UFS community to thrive. It endeavours to be a respected centre of excellence, both nationally and internationally. Pictured from the left, are: Ms Estelle Heideman (Manager: Kovsies HIV/Aids Centre), Dr Annette Prins (Manager: Staff Wellness) and Dr Riana Johnson (Manager: Kovsie Health).
