Healthcare Consumerism
Healthy UNH works to empower individuals throughout the campus communities to take active roles in their health and healthcare decision-making through education, awareness, and skill development. We do this by:
- Teaching people how to advocate for themselves in making healthcare decisions;
- Developing and leveraging educational programs and tools for the campus community about the healthcare system, health insurance, and use of healthcare services; and
- Providing education about how lifestyle can impact the need for healthcare.
