Students at CSC receive free medical appointments

 Chadron State has contracted with Chadron Community Hospital to create a clinic for CSC students in the hospital’s emergency room from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. each weekday morning when classes are in session. The clinic will be staffed by Chadron State Nurse Ann Dockweiler and a physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner from the hospital.

While the visit is free to the students, cost of x-rays, laboratory work and medication will still be the students’ responsibility.

The hospital is located at 821 Morehead Street, four blocks from the Chadron State campus. Students must make appointments through the CSC Health Services office.

The clinic is being funded through the spring 2005 semester by money set aside by Chadron State President Dr. Thomas Krepel to implement Vision 2011, the college’s strategic plan.

The new program began Dec. 3.
