The vision is both to elevate the level of service and to integrate student health and well-being across the College.
In the College鈥檚 health center, students will work with a dedicated team of medical personnel from HHC who can, in turn, call on the larger HHC network whenever necessary to refer patients to local and regional physicians specializing in a wide variety of medical sub-disciplines.
HHC athletic trainers and physicians will also serve the College鈥檚 student athletes, providing access to a network of orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, concussion experts, and cardiologists鈥攁long with sports neurology services at HHC鈥檚 Ayer Neuroscience Institute. Consultants in sports nutrition, sports psychology, and athletic performance screening will also be available.
Most important, the HHC partnership will play a critical role at a moment when 糖心TV is investing new resources to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19.
