Primary Care Progress-Vassar Chapter

"This year, Vassar’s chapter of Primary Care Progress (P*P) has been building a website that consolidates health resources for students. Many of these resources are already available on campus: from the nutritionist working for the dining service to the safer s*x supplies provided by C.H.O.I.C.E. But there are also important resources that can only be found off campus, such as HIV prophylaxis provided by Hudson River Healthcare (HRH) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from Planned Parenthood. Previously, this information has been spread out across various websites and pamphlets. Our goal has been to vet and compile all of this valuable information in a way that is centralized and accessible."

The website is still a work in progress, and we’d love your feedback. You can get in touch with us using the feature at the bottom of the homepage, or send an email to p*[email protected]

"The ACA is still a critical tool for providing necessary services for people with behavioral-health disorders and for helping close the racial disparities within that group. It removes the first and most obvious barriers for many potential patients, setting the stage for what Creedon and Cook characterize as 'further attention on the unique access barriers confronting racial/ethnic minorities.' But these results are perhaps another reminder that making health care more equitable is a continuing process."

Obamacare Is Making Mental-Health Care Better for Some Obamacare is providing unprecedented access to treatment, but it’s failed to narrow disparities between white and black patients.
