The administration just approved the wellness machine for the EMU. This win belongs to all 436 of you who signed and pushed for accessible health products on our campus. Keep an eye out for installation updates as we make sure they follow through on the timeline.

The Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) at the University of Oregon believes that every student deserves direct, equal access to sexual health products without undue stress or unnecessary hoops to jump through. We are hoping to make this possible by installing a wellness vending machine that includes: sexual health products such as emergency contraceptive, gender-inclusive condoms, pregnancy tests, as well as other common health products like Tylenol, Benadryl, DayQuil, and menstrual products. The wellness machine would be located in the heart of campus, the Erb Memorial Union (EMU), to give students the most central and extensive hours of access possible. The EMU often opens as early as 7 am and does not close until 2 am, whereas the University Health Center, the main resource center for sexual health products, is restricted to business hours on weekdays, 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays. As we partner with the University Health Center, we are working to maximize effectiveness and efficiency and bring forth innovative initiatives to give students the greatest access to sexual health and wellness products as possible.
Please, sign the petition if you support reproductive justice and want to see the wellness machine put into place!

The health center hours leave students without basic supplies for most of the weekend. Send an email to the EMU building supervisor today to demand that they approve the space for our wellness machine.

I'm a UO student and think this would be an awesome resource. Would love to see menstrual cups included in this too if it happens!
Very important that students have access to these types of products for an affordable price and at hours that fit their schedules!
Improved access to reproductive healthcare products such as Plan B is deeply needed on this campus. A welless machine seems like a great and discrete option to make vital health resources available for students!
This is a fantastic idea, and would really help increase access to necessary healthcare and medical objects necessary to every-day student life.
Yes!! Having to wait for the health center to open when you need something right away is the worst. This would save so many people so much stress.
Let's do it
You heard it here first. Have a great time. Turn up. Love you guys. Awesome.

I am simply a frequent U of O GUEST (not student nor staff), due to myself living on LTD route 79x. I very strongly support this idea, I am often buying food or utilizing restrooms in EMU while waiting for buses at LTD's UO Station that's not far away, plus, my workplace is near Hayward Field. The U of O and EMU plays a major role in my transit-based commute, and I too, would utilize items sold in this machine with my money (honestly, there isn't any other place nearby to buy things like Benadryl, and yes, I sure as heck would buy it out of this if it was available, right there, on my way to or from work or elsewhere in Eugene/Springfield, since most of my bus transfers occur there, at U of O, during times of year when 79x runs
