New Health Center Offers Expanded Student Services Emmanuel students have a clinic for injury and illness on campus, now located in the basement of St. Joseph Hall. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center nurse practitioner Jill Hallisey runs the clinic full-time and encourages students to visit the center for all of their health needs. There have been more than 700 visits since the center's opening in September 2004.

"There is a tremendous opportunity here to make a difference in the lives of students," says Hallisey. She finds this particularly true with new students who are away from home for the first time. "There is no problem too big or too small for us."

Hallisey, a graduate of Northeastern University and Boston College's Graduate School of Nursing, has worked in the healthcare field for 25 years, includ­ing 10 years at Boston City Hospital. On Fridays, the clinic is covered by BIDMC nurse practitioner Gail Moylan, who also brings a wealth of experi­ence.

In its new location, the Health Center has a fully­equipped examination room, a common waiting

area where students can find information on various health-related topics, and offices. The facility is also equipped to do some laboratory work and treat both musculoskeletal injuries and asthma attacks. A room is also available for students to rest and recover.

Hallisey is available to offer individual nutritional and exercise assessments and develop plans for weight loss and healthy lifestyles. As a tri-athlete and marathon runner, she enjoys this aspect of her role. As a nurse practitioner, she prescribes medica­tions and performs exams.

Students can also get referrals to BIDMC for services needed beyond the clinic. Those needing medical assistance during non-office hours should contact their RA or RD to be taken to BIDMC.

Kerlyne Laguerre is an assistant in the center, taking vital signs, maintaining patient charts and conduct­ing lab work. Emmanuel nursing student Louise Quigley is working with the clinic on a number of health promotion projects for the campus.
