The new service is available to TU students, faculty/staff and Macon County residents.
The new platform is not only available to students, faculty and staff. It’s also accessible at no cost to the residents of Macon County, according to university officials. This was made possible through the leadership of Tuskegee’s Center for Rural Health and Economic Equity, the school announced.
“Tuskegee University has a long history of bringing trusted healthcare to rural spaces in the state of Alabama and worldwide,” said President Dr. Charlotte P. Morris. “Hosting the very first OnMed Care Station in the state of Alabama is another affirmative step that Tuskegee University has taken to build on our community and strategic partnerships by providing healthcare after hours and on weekends for students and residents of Tuskegee.
Featuring Tuskegee’s colors of crimson and old gold, the care station is located in the atrium of the Margaret Murray Washington Hall building, near the Lincoln Gates main entrance of the campus. It is equipped with a screen that connects patients to face-to-face with a clinician. “We couldn’t be more excited and prouder of our partnership with Tuskegee University,” said Tom Vanderheyden, CEO of OnMed. “They represent the best reflection of our mission and purpose and certainly the quality of partners we aspire to have.
Along with prescribing medications via e-prescriptions, officials said OnMed clinicians work with the Tuskegee Student Health Center to arrange necessary follow-up or extended care required.
