Students for a National Health Program

Welcome to Students for a National Health Program, the student arm of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP). PNHP is a single-issue organization advocating for a universal, comprehensive single-payer national health program with more than 19,000 members. We believe that a publicly funded, privately delivered universal health care system is necessary for us to provide high quality care to all patients. At Downstate, we educate our students on the benefits of a Single Payer System and advocate for this with our local and state representatives.

We also partner with other social justice minded groups at Downstate for events and actions.

If you are interested in learning more, you can find articles and resources on the PNHP website.
