责任
Attend a general health rep meetings once a month.
健康 reps are responsible for attending a monthly meeting with all health reps to share concerns from their house, receive information from 健康 服务 to share with their house, and to learn about specific health issues from guest speakers/professionals. Food is always provided!
Share information with the house.
浴室单广告: Supply and maintain bathroom stuffers to each communal bathroom. Stuffers contain useful health information on a variety of subjects, and should also include the health rep's contact information. 健康 reps are expected to check the stuffers regularly to restock pamphlets that they think contain relevant information for the house.
健康 Bulletin Boards: All health reps are encouraged to have a bulletin board. 至少, boards should include 健康 服务 hours, 数字, 提供的服务, and promotion of the 健康 服务 Web site. The information should be appropriate as it is a representation of 健康 服务 and is seen by a variety of people with different sensitivities to different health issues. Postings of insurance information are also highly recommended.
研究了: health reps are trained as peer educators in a training session at the beginning of the academic year. The training covers stress management, STIs and contraception. To share this infomation with their house health reps are encouraged to hold “study breaks” throughout the semester in which they discuss information obtained in the training and subsequent meetings.
Assess and address the health issues in the house.
Every house will have a drop box in which students can anonymously share their health concerns that they wish to be addressed. The health rep is responsible for evaluating these issues and sharing the most prevalent issue at the monthly health rep meeting, at which point a personalized plan will be assigned to the health rep for addressing the issue. 健康 reps can be trained on the specific issue and then share the information with the house, or a professional may come and speak at the health rep's house during a scheduled time.

Every house receives with a starter budget (like credit) for latex (and latex-free) condoms, 牙科大坝, 手套, and lubricant from 健康 服务. Once that budget is depleted, houses can use their own funds to order additional supplies at discounted clinic prices.
