“Service Learning in Health and Wellness” is a course offered by CCAPP at The City College of NY, which guides students to learn through hands-on services that address health issues in Harlem.
We've worked on making healthy snacks available in school vending machines, improved school cafeteria’s recycling, convinced local bodegas to offer healthy lunches, hosted farmers’ market, and developed a Healthy Living Guide with cancer prevention tips.

Anyone still confused about health insurance?
This is one of the best resources I've found for understanding health insurance in the U.S. - enjoy!
Thanks for the link. Within the past year, I've changed from working full-time (w/ union health insurance) to working part-time (w/ public health insurance) in order to finish my post-bacc. The difference is crazy and I had to choose whether to pay about $300 a month for individual coverage, or "fudge" on my income to qualify for Fidelis. I've only been to the doctor once on this insurance, but it gives me perspective on what some of the cancer patients must navigate through. Although I'm sure it's much more difficult when you need more than preventative services.
Rebecca Thanks for the Post. I understand the policies but they are most of the time unfair. Like Moya mentioned, you have to make a salary in the range of 1,200 but you make very less they disqualify you from insurance and also if you make more they disqualify you. I saw a person with Leukemia on the train begging for money. And he said his 21 years old son is working hard to pay for his injections since he is not covered.
