Improvements at Tang:
Your $43 Health Fee at Work
Last March, students voted for a health fee that would
protect and improve services at University Health Services (UHS)--Tang
Center. With input from a student health fee advisory committee and
a student survey, a number of new services and improvements are underway.
Beginning with the fall semester, the Tang Center
will offer:
- Extended hours in Urgent Care and Pharmacy. Both services will
be open until 6 pm weekdays. This was a top item on the student
advisory committee agenda -- giving students an extra hour to get
to the Tang Center at the end of the day.
- Urgent Care and Pharmacy open on Saturdays. Formerly only
Urgent Care was open Saturdays. Now, if a student comes to Urgent
Care on a Saturday and needs a prescription -- or can't get over to
Tang to pick up a prescription until the weekend, he/she won't have
to go to an outside pharmacy.
- Additional counselors and Urgent Care clinicians. This fall,
we will be hiring six new licensed medical and mental health clinicians.
More medical providers and counselors will result in less wait time
to get an appointment.
- More same-day medical appointments. Students also wanted
more same day access to medical services, especially during the afternoon.
The Tang Center is converting some of what we call "future medical
appointments" during the afternoon to same day appointments.
This will give sick students another good option beside the Urgent
Care clinic.
- An expanded Group Counseling program. Students will have
more opportunities to take advantage of this successful treatment
mode. For example, UHS will provide additional depression/anxiety
groups and offer new semester-long groups, including groups designed
specifically for graduate students.
More improvement are planned for the coming months. Please check back.
