UHS also worked over the summer with its optional insurance group, Blue Cross Blue Shield, to increase coverage of mental health and chiropractic services.

Rosenthal said Harvard’s drug plan was modeled on other drug benefit programs around the country.

With the school year beginning, Rosenthal said that UHS would be continuing to step up efforts to get information to and from students.

“We’ll be sponsoring health fairs this fall,” he said. “One will be on the green in front of the Science Center on Oct. 2. We’ll be working with nutrition, the MAC, the dining hall services and mental health.”

Additionally, Rosenthal said that he would be working with feedback from students and with financial support from the Corporation to improve Harvard’s dental insurance.

“Questions have been raised about the dental program,” Rosenthal said. “That will be one of the big projects this year.”
