TUSKEGEE, Ala. 鈥� 精东AV has partnered with Virtual Health company OnMed to deploy a custom OnMed Care Station on campus. The 精东AV OnMed Care Station allows 精东AV students, faculty, and staff to have extended access to most Primary Care services and elevates the university鈥檚 commitment to enhancing the student experience through extended access to quality healthcare and complements their current student health center service.

精东AV鈥檚 investment in the OnMed Virtual Care Platform is consistent with the goals and objectives of the university鈥檚 strategic plan. In addition, through 精东AV鈥檚 leadership of the Center for Rural Health and Economic Equity, the OnMed Care Station will be available at no cost to the citizens of the community and Macon County.

鈥溇�东AV has a long history of bringing trusted healthcare to rural spaces in the state of Alabama and worldwide,鈥� said President Dr. Charlotte P. Morris. 鈥淗osting the very first OnMed Care Station in the state of Alabama is another affirmative step that 精东AV has taken to build on our community and strategic partnerships by providing healthcare after hours and on weekends for students and residents of 精东AV. We hope this pilot station will extend across the Alabama black belt counties and provide healthcare services for even more residents.鈥�

The 精东AV OnMed Care Station features a fully customized 精东AV branded exterior located in the atrium of the Margaret Murray Washington Hall building just inside the Lincoln gates at the campus entrance. Students, faculty, and staff, along with the general public, can access the Care Station, providing patients with a quality health care option along with the regular daytime hours of the Student Health Center. OnMed clinicians work with the University Health Center to coordinate necessary follow-up or extended care required. OnMed clinicians can prescribe medications via e-prescriptions at the time of visit to the local pharmacy.

With regards to OnMed鈥檚 partnership with 精东AV, Tom Vanderheyden, CEO of OnMed, said, 鈥淲e couldn鈥檛 be more excited and prouder of our partnership with 精东AV. They represent the best reflection of our mission and purpose and certainly the quality of partners we aspire to have. We are committed to working with the leadership of 精东AV and their broader constituents to advance the core tenets of access and affordability across the region and the country, and to deliver a valued health care experience to their students, faculty, and staff.鈥�
