Approval of Minutes:  Connie Molnar made a motion to approve the September minutes with corrections.  Dave Crooks seconded the motion.  The motion carried.

Guests:  Glenn Egelman, Director & Physician in Chief, Student Health Services
Glenn spoke about the proposed changes for the Health Center on campus.  No pediatric services at this time.  Plans for a new building or addition to current Health Care Center.  The services they offer do not want to become a replacement for our current primary care providers.  Would like to become like an urgent care.  Looking into a different funding model and offering different areas of expertise.  Urgent Care’s cost lower than an E.R.  The Health Center was 70% funded by student fees.  That is now 46%.  They downsized their laboratory and got rid of radiology.  Would like a separate entrance and waiting room for faculty and staff.  Flu shots will be available later in October. Taking the shot to early, makes it in affective into March and you could still catch the flu.  Glenn also spoke about faculty and staff taking advantage of the Pharmacy and its ability to deliver your medicines.  Glen asked to see if ASC would support the proposal of the Health Center and to share this information with our constituents.  He needs feedback by our next meeting.
