The HCAC advises University Health Services in budgetary and administrative areas.
The new University Tower at U-Square is coming along well, and UHS staff got to walk through the building in anticipation of the December move. We spent some time talking about parking issues and also handicapped accessibility. Parking, like everywhere else in Madison, will be tight but may be alleviated because most students will be walking to the new location.
The current satellite clinic in Sellery will be closing, and UHS had discussed moving it to Lakeshore but the Lakeshore redevelopment funds were not included in the latest state budget.
Question: Is U-Square too far for Lakeshore students to travel? Would a satellite clinic in the future in the Lakeshore neighborhood be adequately utilized? Part of the reason why the Sellery clinic was needed was because the University Avenue location was just so far away. Having U-Square in the center of campus will change traffic/usage patterns. Thoughts?
In other news, electronic health records are coming along well. There was discussion about integrating the publicizing and familiarization (and also taking health histories of incoming students) of the "new" UHS at SOAR.
Question: Would more information about the location/services/appointment processes of UHS have been helpful at SOAR?
