In honor of College Decision Month (May) Varsity Care is giving away a semester of their service (a $395 value) to selected incoming college Freshman (of schools in the Washington, DC area) via the Varsity Care social media pages (Instagram: @varsitycarellc and Facebook: Facebook.com/varsitycarellc). Simply follow these accounts and engage with the specific posts indicating the “Free Semester of Varsity Care Promotion”.
With the recent pandemic, student safety and health guidance will be critical topics for colleges and universities entering the 2021-22 school year. In addition to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, one in four college students will get the flu each semester along with other illnesses and accidental injuries.
No parent likes thinking about it, but what are you going to do when your child gets hurt or sick far from home and you are not there? Nearly fifty percent of college students seek emergency care every year.
“Our son, away at college, was hospitalized for a week with COVID-19 - if this was your child, what would you do? This is a situation where Varsity Care’s Health Facilitators can bridge the gap. Since we couldn’t be there physically, we had to trust others to ensure he was getting the best care possible. We founded Varsity Care because every student deserves individual attention. You can trust us to assist your student far from home when they are faced with the unexpected.” Explains the company co-founder John Bartos.
With Varsity Care, your child can enjoy the college experience. As a parent you can relax knowing Varsity Care is there for your child in the event of a healthcare crisis. “I have personally advocated for many students in my career, and just having a Registered Nurse there with the student results in increased attention and a better treatment. I want every student to have the opportunity to feel safe and receive excellent care by having Varsity Care by his/her side. This is my mission.” Co-founder Halley Ascher, RN, BCPA.
