Medical Fee Plans for the Future • In FY 11, we hope to expand our scope of practice, potentially add weekend hours, establish free continuous HIV testing currently paid by federal grant, and explore providing additional support to our first responders should we obtain the necessary staff & financing to support efforts. • By FY 12, we will be exploring renovating our facility so that we might offer radiology services, a class A pharmacy, and more varied medical services. • At some point, we will need to expand our main campus facility to better meet the needs of the growing campus population and residential community. • Furthermore, we will need to expand the facility located at the Downtown campus to better serve that campus location and growth. 4

Medical Fee Concerns and Changes § Continuing enrollment increase will require additional space at the Main and Downtown facilities § We will explore expanding the scope of practice via student survey. § We will survey our student body to determine if they would like to add weekend hours. § We would like to buy equipment that would support crisis mass medical needs for our campus community should such needs ever arise. § We are not currently on the bus route leaving some ill students in hardship.
