The Center for Rural Health (CRH) recruits Tucson health professional students to participate in SHARE. This is an opportunity for healthcare and public health students to 1) learn to navigate the healthcare system and 2) become a leader for health.
SHARE provides Health Insurance 101 Trainings and attends Outreach Fairs to reach the uninsured and under-insured. SHARE helps consumers understand health insurance coverage at events held across Pima County and refer consumers to Certified Assisters to help them obtain coverage.
If you are interested in learning more information, requesting a Health Insurance 101 Training or Project SHARE attending your outreach event, please contact our Program Coordinator, Estefania, at emendivil@arizona.edu.
