Student Outreach
FutureHealth’s unique student outreach program consists of several different initiatives. We believe that students should always have an open and safe line of communication. We interact with students by sending them inspirational text messages to promote positive attitudes, emailing them healthy recipes and blogs, and communicating through “Buddy.”
Every student needs a buddy – so that’s what we made, a virtual student advocate! Buddy connects with students daily. As part of FutureHealth’s student outreach, we engage with our students daily to let them know they are not alone. Buddy also helps students to practice healthy habits. During the Spring semester, Buddy holds a competition among students encouraging them to engage in healthy habits. The top 8 students who practiced the healthiest habits win a gift card. During the Fall semester, the competition requires students to demonstrate their knowledge of health insurance. The top 8 students who can answer the most questions correctly win a Visa gift card. |
Health Promotion Materials
FutureHealth is dedicated to fostering a proactive approach to wellness by creating comprehensive health promotion materials tailored for both clients and students. These materials encompass a wide range of topics, from nutrition and physical activity to mental health and education, ensuring that recipients have access to relevant and practical information. By educating individuals on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, FutureHealth aims to empower them with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions about their well-being. This initiative is crucial, as it not only enhances the overall quality of life but also reduces the incidence of preventable illnesses, thereby minimizing the need for medical interventions and associated costs. Through these efforts, FutureHealth is helping to build healthier communities and promote long-term, sustainable wellness practices.
