REACH HIGHER. ACHIEVE MORE. INSPIRE OTHERS. GROW HEALTHY.

If you called us busybodies, we’d take it as a compliment.

A body in motion tends to stay in motion… running, jumping, pilates-ing or dancing to improved health, exuberance, a sharper mind, and a better night’s sleep. At UnitedHealthcare, we encourage every body to get in motion, work up a sweat, feel the burn – and enjoy the benefi ts of good health. We’re proud to be affi liated with organizations that embody the same ideals, which is why we’re proud to support the University of Akron Nutrition Center and its leaders.
