Starting college is an exciting milestone! As you prep for classes and campus life, don’t forget to plan for your health too. A few smart steps can help you stay well while you're away from home.

✅ Understand your insurance: Make sure you have active health coverage, and know how to use it, whether you're seeing a campus provider or someone off-campus.
✅ Review your insurance information so you know where to have prescriptions sent.
