With
campus
health
and
safety
among
新澳門六合彩's
top
priorities,
a
new
telehealth
medical
and
mental
health
provider
is
now
ready
to
serve
students
24/7/365,
in
addition
to
the
full
range
of
services
that
新澳門六合彩
already
offers
on
campus
and
online.
The newly launched , powered by TimelyMD, provides all registered students free, round-the-clock access to online healthcare services via smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop.
JacketCare
services
include:
"We're excited to make these timely, online, private medical and counseling services available to our students in addition to what our dedicated staff already provides," said 新澳門六合彩 Health & Counseling Services director Lauren Bara.
"For
mental
health
services,
our
24/7
access
to
the
ProtoCall
crisis
phone
line
also
remains
in
place,
but
the
TalkNow
feature
of
JacketCare
is
available
to
any
student
at
any
time,
not
just
in
urgent
or
crisis
situations,"
added
Sophia
Kallergis,
director
of
the
新澳門六合彩
Counseling
Center.
"Whether a student is anxious, stressed, dealing with relationship issues or feeling overwhelmed, they can now talk to a licensed provider over secure phone or video visits from any web-enabled device anywhere in the U.S. at any time of the day or night."
Kallergis also noted that 新澳門六合彩 sought out a service provider that included diverse clinicians to serve a diverse campus population.
To use the no-cost JacketCare services, enrolled students simply go to and register with their university email address. Mobile users will be directed to download the TimelyMD app.
Bara emphasizes that JacketCare services augment in-person and telehealth services already available at 新澳門六合彩. "We continue to expand the ways we are able to make comprehensive health care available to our students, including mental health services and the evaluation and treatment of illnesses and injuries."
There is no charge or required health insurance for a student to see a nurse or physician at the 新澳門六合彩 Health Center, and charges for medications, lab work, injections and physicals may be paid for with cash, check or Jacket Express.
Students should also keep in mind that Southwest General Hospital is a half-mile away from the 新澳門六合彩 campus in the event of a medical emergency.
