From 1996-1997, Scott Trimble and Cindy Suen were Health Workers at Freeborn Hall, U.C. Berkeley. They were Red Cross certified in First Aid & CPR and constantly received further training and education in two semesters of Public Health 104A/B. Their duties were to help residents with any health problems or concerns that they may have had. Whether they needed first aid, safer sex supplies, or counseling, they could help them or at least refer them to someone else who could. They provided educational resources all year long by writing and posting weekly "Health Tips" on each floor's bulletin board and in the lobby. Every other month they also created a Bulletin Board display across from the kitchenette. And each semester they planned a large-scale program where a speaker came to Freeborn to talk on certain topics.

Scott and Cindy finished their Health Worker job in May 1997. Scott went on to be a Resident Assistant for two years, first at Spens-Black Hall and then back at Freeborn Hall the year after. Cindy first became a Security Coordinator at Freeborn Hall and then went to Stern Hall after that. Both graduated from U.C. Berkeley in Spring 1999.

Even though they are over six years old now, the Health Tips are still available online because the information is still valid and can potentially help anybody who runs across them. There will be no updates made to the actual text of each Health Tip. If you have any questions, we recommend that you either find the documented sources or ask your health care provider.
