Health Promotion and Community Relations (HPCR) serves two functions.
1. Health Promotion: We provide information and referrals, collaborate and consult, influence policy and advocate for health for the UM campus community. See also Health Education, Health Topics A-Z , HIV Antibody Testing, BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students), Alcohol and Other Drugs Prevention Program.
2. Community Relations:
- We create print and web materials, staff information tables and orient customers to UHS services.
- We invite your feedback about UHS services. You can complete a "Comments, Please!" form at UHS, call or visit HPCR, or use the on-line Questions and Comments form. Any concerns will be handled confidentially.
- The Student Health Advisory Council (SHAC) works with UHS staff to help improve services.
