Examples of recent and current efforts, many of which are in cooperation with other organizations:

• national health care policy forum 
• health & wellness fair
• equipment support for UNC Asheville's Wellness Activities for Seniors in Asheville (WASA) program
• coordination with UNC Asheville on planning for North Carolina Center for Health and WellnessNote: Health and wellness-related courses offered by the College for Seniors are planned and administered by the College for Seniors.

The Health & Wellness Committee has one subcommittee, the Health Education Series (HES) Subcommittee. This subcommittee coordinates with experts to develop several health-related presentations for the spring and fall. A part of the Fabulous Fridays lecture series, these mid-day presentations cover a wide variety of health and medical topics of interest and value to NCCCR members and the general public. The public is welcome to attend these free sessions.
