ACHA 2015 Programme Overview

As members of the college health community, we strive to provide high quality and effective health services and programs that advance the health of students and their campus community. Insurance, budgeting and funding, cultural competency, disease prevention, crisis management, and mental health matters are just some of the issues that we face daily in our practice and on campus. These topics and many others are being presented in more than 150 educational sessions and discussions at this year’s conference. The meeting has a special focus on health equity for students, focusing on improving health for all students by addressing the social determinants of health. The meeting features section, affiliate, and committee meetings; other networking events; an Exhibit Hall; poster displays; and a robust offering of pre-conference workshops.
