Health Promotion & Prevention ServicesWelcome to Health Promotion and Prevention Services (HPPS). We provide education, support and resources to advance the health of students on the University Park campus. To an ancient monastic, "health is the capacity to achieve what is essential to a given life.” Our view of health encompasses the core of this statement in that we define "health" as synonymous with "capacity". We want to work with you to develop a healthy campus community that supports your full capacity. In this sense, health becomes not the end in itself, but the essential structure for individual learning and creating learning environments. Given that, the mission of HPPS is to prevent when possible, heal when necessary, and empower always. In order to effectively facilitate this mission, our work is data-driven, evidence based, and grounded in several key documents: The ACHA-National College Health Assessment ACHA Guidelines: Standards of Practice for Health Promotion in Higher Education The Book of Professional Standards in Higher Education We hope you will stop in to visit the Resource Room and include us in your vision of campus community. We look forward to working with you! You may also want to print a flowchart about accessing Health Promotion and Prevention Services to keep handy.
