The WISE Survey was developed to assess and identify opportunities for improvement of the current health and wellness offerings of LSUHSC. The poll is conducted annually and includes questions that pertain to specific wellness services offered by LSU, which can be answered by faculty, staff, residents, and students. These questions include inquiries about the dining options in the cafeteria, fitness offerings in the Wellness Center, counseling services provided by the Campus Assistance Programs, or the Smoke-Free Campus initiative, among others. The primary aim of the WISE survey is to determine the satisfaction levels of the LSUHSC community with the services provided and to specific areas for improvement.

Dr. Jayashree Rao offers the LSU community eight mindfulness courses, each lasting one hour.
