The NYU Health Promotion Office (HPO) at SHC produces dynamic educational workshops, health information, peer training and campus events to enhance personal, academic and career success. An accessible team of professional and student health educators design, deliver and evaluate diverse wellness programming, provide health consultations and serve as referral sources to additional support for vital student health issues.
Our Mission: HPO works to empower students to make informed decisions by providing the campus community with accessible, accurate information and compassionate services that foster personal health, academic success and community wellness.
Our Approach: We acknowledge that students are adults who can and will make their own decisions regarding their health. Given that understanding, we strive to create an environment in which students feel listened to and respected.
Services we provide include:
- Educational Appointments
Individual appointments to speak with a health educator (by yourself or with a partner) to discuss issues or question related to sexual health, alcohol and other drugs, smoking cessation, etc. - Educational Information
