Creighton University Student Organization Helps Fight Medical Debt

April 12, 2025 Grace Updike, The Creightonian. , , ,
Throughout the 2024-2025 school year, Creighton’s Students for a National Health Program (SNaHP) chapter has worked to advocate and raise money for individuals struggling with medical debt. The organization recently reached their fundraising goal, raising over $10,000 for the non-profit Undue Medical Debt. SNaHP is a single-issue organization that advocates for single-payer universal healthcare through legislative advocacy and education. According to Allison Benjamin, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences and the outgoing president of Creighton’s SNaHP chapter, their mission is to achieve affordable, accessible and quality healthcare for all.

Medical Students Walk Out On Antiabortion Speaker

July 25, 2022 Scott Jaschik, Inside Higher Ed. , , , ,
University of Michigan medical students walked out on a speech Sunday by an antiabortion speaker during their “white coat day” to mark the start of medical school. In the weeks before the speech, students petitioned to have the speaker changed. The speaker was Kristin Collier, an assistant professor at the medical school. She has spoken out many times against abortion. “While we support the rights of freedom of speech and religion, an anti-choice speaker as a representative of the University of Michigan undermines the University’s position on abortion and supports the non-universal, theology-rooted platform to restrict abortion access, an essential part of medical care,” said the petition. “This is not simply a disagreement on personal opinion; through our demand we are standing up in solidarity against groups who are trying to take away human rights and restrict medical care.”
