Health insurance coverage is a necessity for many to be able to access the health care they need and deserve.
While NUNM does not offer student health insurance, the Oregon Health Plan is available for students with established residency in the state, and who meet the criteria within the Federal Poverty Level assessment. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, colloquially known as food stamps, is also available to individuals who meet similar criteria.
