Complete your Wellness Survey!
Dear UFCOM Faculty,
Dear UFCOM Faculty, If you have not yet completed your survey, you will receive an email invitation with a link toour faculty wellness needs assessment. We know you are very busy and that surveyfatigue is real, but we hope you will invest about 10 minutes of your time to offer yourfeedback and suggests for the culture of wellness at UFCOM. You can complete only thesections or questions you wish.
Some important points regarding the survey:
The primary purpose is to determine what FACULTY MEMBERS view as the most important needs-thisinformation will be used to direct future interventions, programming, and resource allocation. The survey was developed by the UFCOM Director of Wellness Programs, with input from dozens of facultymembers across the college- there are separate sections addressing needs for clinical, research, andteaching faculty (you may skip any sections that do not apply to you). The survey is completely anonymous-you will receive a personal survey link via the REDCap surveyplatform, but REDCap anonymizes all responses. No one will be able to link your responses to you. Once you complete the survey, REDCap will automatically stop sending you reminders!
Thank you in advance for your time in completing the survey. We look forward to using the results to planmeaningful chance to improve the workplace environment and better support our faculty!Happy holidays!

More options for nursing mothers at UF Health
Nursing mothers now have two new places to conveniently and privately pump breast milk or breastfeed in our healthscience center complex. In early November, UF installed two additional modular "lactation pods," made byMamava™: one in the Communicore Building (near the second-floor elevators) and one in the Health Professions,Nursing & Pharmacy, or HPNP,
Building (on the second floor). The latter is also accessible for people with disabilities. This follows the success of our first Mamava™ lactation pod, introduced last fall in the public hallway near the first-floor outpatient pharmacy, between the UF Health Shands Hospital Atrium and the UF College of Dentistry/westentrance.
entrance. "Mothers who are on the go - such as our faculty, staff, residents and students - have even more resources wherethey can privately pump breast milk or feed an infant," said Dennis Hines, UF Health Medical and HealthAdministration associate director. "They are also available for visitors to these buildings. We're pleased to offernursing mothers discreet and welcoming choices to support them where they work and go to school." UF Business Affairs purchased the mobile units from Mamava for about $15,000 each. The manufacturer designsthe pods "to reach mamas where they travel, receive health care, work, shop and play." The pods are now popular inhigh-traffic areas such as airports, shopping centers and hospitals. Our pods require the user to use the free Mamava mobile app, which shows where pods are located and is used tounlock the pod door when it's unoccupied. Each well-lit unit is spacious and comfortable, with two molded plasticbenches, a shelf, an electrical outlet and a USB port. Hines added, "There was a great response to our first pod, and use of the app helped us track usage and make thecase to purchase more units. These are great options to have in our busy academic health center that complementexisting lactation resources." Did you know?UF Health has the community's only official "Baby-Friendly" hospital: UF Health Shands Hospital is designated byBaby-Friendly USA. Lactation locations:UF Health is committed to supporting, protecting and promoting breastfeeding. Our lactation resources available tofaculty, staff, residents, outpatients, visitors and students at our Archer Road facilities now include:
UF Health Shands Hospital, First Floor (near Outpatient Pharmacy and Outpatient Lab)UF Health Shands Hospital, Seventh Floor, Room 7502 (five pumping stations)UF Health Shands Cancer Hospital, Sixth Floor, Room 6012 (two pumping stations)UF Health Heart & Vascular and UF Health Neuromedicine hospitals, Fourth Floor, Rooms 4537 and 4539(one individual pumping station in each room)Communicore Building, Second Floor (near the elevators)PHHP Building, Second Floor (in the lobby area between the College of Public Health and Health Professionsand the College of Nursing sections). This Pod is an ADA-accessible unit to accommodate people withdisabilities.
