STUDENT HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL (SHAC)
The SHAC is an advisory body to the University Health Services Manoa that consists of student representatives and UH faculty and administration. The main purpose of SHAC is to ensure that the students are represented in the planning and decision making of their university's health care services.
