\u00a0Frederick Region-al Health Systems to provide health services to better meet students\u2019 needs through partnership with Hood College.<\/p>\n

A recently opened FMH facility located on 7th Street will provide students with services including primary care, urgent care, health and well-ness, mental health, and sports physicals. Monocacy Health Partners (Frederick Regional Health Sys-tem\u2019s physician group) will be providing the services at this facility. \u201cI\u2019m always sick so absolutely, I\u2019ll use [the FMH facility],\u201d said Maria Bernal, a current Hood student. College employees will have access to the urgent care and men-tal health services as well. The services come at a small fee, generally covered by\u00a0health insurance. \u201cAccess to health and wellness service is one of the most im-portant things we can provide our students,\u201d said President Andrea Chapdelaine in a\u00a0Hood news release. Students have de-veloped mixed opinions about the facility already.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI heard there were concerns [about the FMH facility] because they\u2019re not keeping medicine there, and they have to refer you to somewhere else. So, it\u2019s not all free like it normally was,\u201d said Allie Backos, a cur-rent Hood student.<\/p>\n

The proximity of the facility appears to be extremely convenient for students here on campus. The facili-ty is close enough to campus for students to walk there if they need to.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I need to use it, it\u2019s close to the college and easy walking distance,\u201d said Jillian Alverson, a current Hood student. \u201cAnd it\u2019s closer to the athlet-ic center, I think a lot of those students will use it more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rumors on campus suggest that the walk may become even eas-ier.<\/p>\n

Backos said,\u201c[-Hood\u2019s staff members] said they were going to open that gate over there\u201d-Backos pointed to the back of Hood\u2019s campus towards 7th Street-\u201cI don\u2019t know if that\u2019s true, but it would be a lot more convenient than walk-ing all the way across campus, then around, but it\u2019s not terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The partnership be-tween the college and FRHS will also pro-vide a practicum site for students pursuing a master\u2019s in clinical counseling.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to collaborate with Hood College, our neigh-bor and communi-ty partner, to ensure that staff and college students have access to the care they need. They are part of the community we serve,\u201d Thomas A. Kleinhan-zl, president and CEO of Frederick Regional Health System, said in the release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
