Peer Advocacy Program

Penn State Altoona's Health and Wellness Center and the college's human development and family studies degree program offer a peer advocacy program for students. Trained students will serve as peer advocates to offer a supportive listening environment with drop-in hours.

Students can attend to discuss concerns about stress, relationships, the future, courses, feelings of being overwhelmed, or to talk. For more information, contact Heidi Manfred at [email protected].

Insurance Information

The Health and Wellness Center is a participating provider for many insurance companies. Please contact your insurance company to verify your coverage at the Health and Wellness Center. If we are not in your network, you must request a “guest membership” from your insurance company for services provided at the center. If this is not an option for you, Penn State's Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) is available. Please note that even though you uploaded your insurance information to LionPATH, our systems are not connected. You must bring your insurance card to the center for your initial visit.

Accreditation

As of November 2023, the Penn State Altoona Health and Wellness Center once again achieved the milestone of Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) accreditation. Organizations that earn AAAHC accreditation embody the philosophy of 1095 Strong, quality every day, a transformational movement spearheaded by AAAHC to equip ambulatory leaders with the best of what they need to operate quality organizations. The three-year coverage of the accreditation allows the Penn State Altoona Health and Wellness Center to continue to review and improve the level of care afforded to Penn State Altoona students.
