In light of the recent violence and injustices that have impacted the Black and African-American community, we’ve created a list of wellness resources for students of color and those wishing to be allies.
CHS Diversity and Inclusion Services: Addressing Health Inequity
Campus Health Services recognizes the impact of systemic racism and discrimination on the health and well-being of our community. With this in mind, it is important to us as an organization, to help address some of those social determinants of health and the historical trauma that have led to health inequities for many of our students and staff.
CHS is continuing on our journey to create a more accessible and equitable healthcare experience for all students and staff. We will continue to take steps to improve our services and programs with an eye on health equity.
Campus Health Services welcomes your feedback about how we can make all of our services more accessible and inclusive for all.
