Empowering young adults
to be self-advocates
We’re in the business of advocating for young adults
HealthPair is a non-profit dedicated to providing young adults with the health literacy skills they need to take charge of their own health.
Our three pillars for better health
Learn more about how we’re committed to improving your health.
Literacy
As you start to become more independent, being able to understand health information will help inform your choices and behaviors, thereby shaping your future health.
Advocacy
A good self-advocate is able to let people know what they think, feel, and need. Self-advocacy will allow you to make informed decisions based on what is best for you as an individual.
Resources
You might not realize it, but as a student you have access to many different healthcare resources. Our mission is to equip you with the skills you need to effectively and confidently navigate them.
“Had to wait forever to be seen after I got a concussion. They wouldn’t take my insurance so I had to pay out of pocket. The doctor was good but they kept asking me why I was still there and I had to keep telling them I hadn’t been seen yet.”
