The Student Health Committee (SHC) aims to promote healthy lifestyles, prevent injury and disease, and assure the safe delivery of quality health services to all Haverford College students.
In pursuit of these objectives, the committee will inform the student body of existing community resources, involve them in the establishment of additional services, and enhance communication and the sharing of information between college health professionals and students. The committee will undertake continuing explorations of mechanisms to enhance student and community health at the college.
The committee will report as appropriate to the student body on health policies, resources, priorities, and changed conditions.
The committee, in conjunction with exiting college resources, will make substance abuse, nutrition, sexual health, mental health, wellness, the spread of sickness, and access to medical care and vaccinations core parts of its agenda.
