    thrive @ RUSSELL SAGE is a program designed with student, faculty and staff wellness in mind. Building on our reputation in the health sciences, thrive @ RUSSELL SAGE extends beyond the classroom to focus on bringing wellness to members of the Sage community.

    thrive @ RUSSELL SAGE Core Values

    • Well-being and health require knowledge and liberal learning skills.
    • Individual wellness depends on social structures and a just society.
    • Gender equity and inclusion are part of a healthy community.
    • Healthy societies are diverse, inclusive and welcome the creativity of all persons.
    • Individual health is dependent on the health of the planet.

    “There are problems associated with health that cannot be solved through direct medical care,” said Public Health graduate Charles Crawford. “I found these other problems to be interesting and wanted to learn more about them, as well as how to address them.”
