Kettering College Commits to Healthy Campus Initiative

KETTERING, Ohio, December 14, 2016 – Kettering College has committed with over 350 other college campuses to make our campus and our community, healthier by getting individuals enrolled in health coverage before open enrollment ends.

November 1 marked the beginning of open enrollment, when people can obtain health care coverage for 2017 through the Health Insurance Marketplaces established by the Affordable Care Act. The Marketplaces allow individuals to shop for and compare plans to find one that’s right for them, and most HealthCare.gov consumers can find a plan for $75 or less per month, less than the cost of a cell phone bill.

“As a college focused on health care, this is especially important to us.” said Victor Brown, Dean for Enrollment and Student Life.

Campuses submitted an application to participate in the Challenge, and committed to fulfilling a specific set of open enrollment outreach actions. These include send e-mails around deadlines to students, staff, faculty, alumni and community neighbors reminding them of the opportunity to enroll, and using public social media platforms to highlight the open enrollment period.

One of the main focuses of this initiative is to ensure students have good, affordable coverage while getting an education to help provide Americans peace of mind and make sure that education doesn’t get unnecessarily sidetracked by a health problem.

December 15, is the last day to enroll for health coverage beginning January 1. For more health coverage enrollment deadlines, visit www.HeathCare.gov.
