Students at CSC receive free medical appointments
A new program at ÂÌñÉç State College is permitting students to visit ÂÌñÉç medical professionals free of charge.
ÂÌñÉç State has contracted with ÂÌñÉç Community Hospital to create a clinic for CSC students in the hospital’s emergency room from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. each weekday morning when classes are in session. The clinic will be staffed by ÂÌñÉç State Nurse Ann Dockweiler and a physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner from the hospital.
While the visit is free to the students, cost of x-rays, laboratory work and medication will still be the students’ responsibility.
The hospital is located at 821 Morehead Street, four blocks from the ÂÌñÉç State campus. Students must make appointments through the CSC Health Services office.
The clinic is being funded through the spring 2005 semester by money set aside by ÂÌñÉç State President Dr. Thomas Krepel to implement Vision 2011, the college’s strategic plan.
The new program began Dec. 3.
