Community college students increasingly struggle to access affordable health care, and campuses need sustainable ways to support their health services. Mile 2 Consulting’s national research shows how colleges can tap into Medicaid to strengthen and sustain these programs. This presentation shares key insights from our recent report and highlights ongoing work helping community colleges successfully leverage Medicaid funding.

The Mapping the DNA of Integrated College Health Services Webinar Series will be a series of continuing education opportunities for ACHA members addressing the organization and delivery of integrated services (health, counseling, health promotion) on college and university campuses. Each webinar will focus on a key topic of integration such as integrated program models, culture building across professional disciplines, space design and layout, shared policies and practices, shared electronic records, and integration with campus partners. The webinar series is being sponsored by the newly formed ACHA Integrated College Health Coalition and will also include the development of a repository of evidence-informed models of integration, published articles, implementation guides, policies and practices for integrated systems, and other useful integrated college health resources.
