Health Care, Medication Administration, Food Allergy Information
UNH hires a dedicated Summer Youth Program nurse who is available to all youth program staff, students, and families. The nurse and our UNH Health & Wellness Center provides triage medical care in the case of illness or injury.
The nurse also assists families with any pre-planning for medical concerns, and helps program staff and families in determining the appropriate administration of any student prescription medications.
Additionally, a UNH dietician is available if special food arrangements are required in the dining hall.

Students with Learning, Behavioral, Physical and Medical Needs
Open communication with families is important for us to meet student needs. If the student has a learning, physical, dietary, behavioral, mental health, or medical need that requires accommodation, awareness, or support, please provide that information during the registration process.
Please refer to our general "Essential Skills" document for an understanding of the basic structure, expectations, and activities of our youth programs. If additional student support is being requested, please complete the "Support Needs/Accommodation Request Form" as soon as possible after the initial registration date.
Communicating with us early allows for sufficient time for UNH staff to follow up with families, if needed, and results in the student's maximum success in the youth program. However, we also encourage students & families to contact us with questions or concerns. The following documents provide helpful information:
