About This Story

Four young adults are engaged in group study, showing collaboration, enjoyment, and connection while learning together.

What does accessing healthcare really look like for college students in North Carolina? Healthcare is essential to the well-being of individuals, families, and communities across our state; however, navigating the system can feel especially overwhelming when you are just beginning adulthood. Juggling classes, managing finances, and figuring out how to care for yourself. In this episode, we sit down with two North Carolina college students who open up about their journeys through the twists, turns, surprises, and setbacks of getting healthcare while in school. From finding the right resources to learning what questions to ask, Sarah and Brynne share honest stories that shed light on what works, what doesn't, and what they wish they had known sooner. Tune in as Sarah and Brynne shine a light on the real student experience of accessing healthcare in North Carolina and why it matters.
