Health Reps
Information for 2005/2006

For more information, please contact latex@smith.edu

Position Information for this year:

Health Reps are elected by houses and serve as liaisons between Health Services and the residential student body. The major goals of the position are to supply the houses with Health promotion information and resources, such as latex products.

Position objectives include:

1) Bathroom Stuffers: Supply and maintain bathroom stuffers to each communal bathroom. Stuffers contain useful health information on a variety of subjects. Health reps are expected to check the stuffers regularly to restock pamphlets if needed.

2) Latex distribution: Every house receives with a starter budget (like credit) for latex condoms, dental dams, gloves, and lubricant from Health Services. Once that budget is depleted, houses can use their own funds to order, but the supplies are offered at discounted clinic prices. Latex Ordering Information is available with links to the order form as well as information for house fund transfer information.

3) Health Bulletin Boards: All health reps are encouraged to have a bulletin board. The updated Health Services website has a variety of pages on health issues like stress, alcohol use, eating disorders, and the like. At minimum, boards should include Health Services hours, numbers, services offered, and promotion of the Health Services website. The information should be appropriate as it is a representation of Health Services and is seen by a variety of people with different sensitivities to different health issues. Postings of insurance information are also highly recommended.

Stay tuned for upcoming emails on meetings and other vital information!
