When students are embarrassed or reluctant to give out information because of lack of confidentiality, a change needs to be made. Health Service recognized this need, and took special means to come up with a solution. Now, six examination rooms will be open so students can speak with nurses, one-on-one, putting them more at-ease when they tell their problems. Health Service also is careful to protect the students’ privacy by using a number system rather than names for appointments. Going along with the privacy issue, Health Services has recognized the need for private AIDS/HIV testing on campus and has added HIV/AIDS testing to its list of services. Rather than going to the Coles County Public Health Department for its services, students may be tested from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursdays at the Health Service building. Proper health care on a college campus is extremely important to students. Eastern has been offering this type of care with inexpensive services, central location and 24-hour emergency care at Health Service.
