STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS 4505 MARYLAND PARKWAY • LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89154-3020 • (702) 739-3370 COLLEGE HEALTH SERVICES CONCEPT OF COLLEGE HEALTH A college health service is unique from the traditional, health care system,. It is an integrated holistic approach to health care that takes into consideration the inter-relationship of body, spirit, and community. It'has explored and developed interdisciplinary collaborative relationships that provide a team approach which focuses not only on the absence of illness, but how to have good health. Self responsibility and lifestyle choices effecting a persons life on a long term basis is stressed. This is the difference between absence of illness and wellness.^ Most students who find their way to a college health service are encouraged to consider the relationship between lifestyle choices and the quality of their lives.^ Education occurs not only between practitioner and patient, but through programs that reach out to the UNLV community such as Health Awareness Day and peer education. A successful College Health Program empowers its consumers to be assertive and to make their own decisions; it is not just treating the patient. Active involvement of consumers at all levels in the college health system reflects the application of primary health care as defined by the World Health Organization, Primary health care is a universalist approach to helping those in need attain an improved quality of life. Communities accept greater responsibility for their health by participating actively in the health care system. This concept is reflected in the student health organizations found on most campuses. At UNLV is is called the Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC). This Committee has developed a consumer evaluation system that provides feedback to the Student Health Center, A representative participates in staff meetings and assists with organization and implementation of health education programs on campus, COMPARISON OF COLLEGE HEALTH TO A PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAM College health, in some respects is a public health program. It deals with the protection and improvement of community health by an organized community effort. This effort includes direct patient care as well as prevention and sanitation.^ Public health programs reflect the health needs of its citizens. Public health nursing traditionally focuses on such things as immunization services, family planning services sexually transmitted diseases, communicable diseases, and health education.^ 1 STUDENT HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM AT UNLV A, Program Overview The Student Health Center Program is under the administrative direction of the Vice-President of Student Services, Dr, Robert Ackerman, It is a support service for the benefit of all students who pay a tuition fee.
