That was the comment of a visitor to the sparkling new Student Health Services facility on the ground floor of Mitten Hall. The spacious modern clinic had its grand opening last Tuesday with a ribbon cutting. There is also a room for anonymous HIV testing provided by Congreso de Latinos Unidos. Clinic staff members diagnose and treat most common medical problems. Care is free or low cost with some charges for medications or immunizations, including fees for clinical laboratory work, equipment, and elective physical examinations.
Nurses give allergy injections with detailed written instructions and vaccines from an allergist.
Students who bring vaccines to the Main Campus can store them at the clinic. Only currently enrolled students who have a valid Temple ID card are eligible for service. She was thanked by University President Peter J. Liacouras for her work in getting the new facility. The President also thanked Executive Vice President James Stanley White for his leadership. He noted the students had made a major contribution with their Student Health Fee.
