But for her House of Representatives it was good to hear another Health and Human Services side, and this wasn't a side she usually sees in her usual studies. • "Students don't have a good enough understanding from just taking a class," Prerost said. Healthcare Management Club President Charlie Forbush said, "As a club, we want to help students understand policies in Utah and nationally." Forbush went on to explain that the students graduating in this area of study will be "in charge of these policies." The goal of the club is to expose students to different areas and allow a level of transparency so they know what they are going into when they graduate. This affects all students because "we all pay for healthcare, by paying taxes," Dr. Joe Jarvis said. Student Hyrum Perkins said, "Medicine and healing are not synonymous." For him, an uninsured student, he will continue to take a "proactive stance towards his health."
