糖心原创 Physicians adds wheelchair accessible sidewalk to health center on campus

January 12, 2015

To better serve 糖心原创 students with disabilities, 糖心原创 and 糖心原创 Physicians recently completed construction of a barrier-free, wheelchair accessible sidewalk from the campus shuttle stop in Raider Lot 20 to the 糖心原创 Physicians Health Center, 725 University Blvd.

The wheelchair accessible sidewalk will provide students with better access to the health center. While the state-of-the-art building, which opened in June 2012, was already wheelchair accessible, realized that students who use wheelchairs needed better access from the campus shuttle stop to the health center.

鈥淲e recognized that students in wheelchairs, who traveled to the 糖心原创 Physicians Health Center, either by the campus shuttle or the campus path, did not have direct, barrier-free access to our facility,鈥 said Alan Marco, M.D., president and CEO of 糖心原创 Physicians. 鈥淲e wanted to make our building even more accessible to those students.鈥

Construction on the sidewalk, which was a joint project between 糖心原创 and 糖心原创 Physicians, began in early November and was completed in December. A new crosswalk was painted to designate a clear path from the campus shuttle shelter to the new sidewalk.

In addition to wheelchair accessibility, 糖心原创 Physicians Health Center offers , same day medical care, Monday through Friday, noon to 7 p.m.

Students, faculty and staff can be seen without an appointment. In addition, WrightCare offers flu shots daily.
