Student Advisory Board - Mission Statement

The Mission of the McKinley Health Center Advisory Board is to:

• Serve as a liaison between students and the staff and administration of the Health Center.
• Inform students of special health problems on campus.
• Create awareness of both general and special services offered by the Health Center.
• Promote the general welfare and health of the student community.
• Review and evaluate programs, services, and policies of the Health Center.
• Provide a mechanism for student consumer complaints, excluding any review of medical competence.
• Participate in the selection process for all new professional staff, physicians, health educators, administrators, and such others as may be appropriate and timely.
• Consult with the Director of Health Service on policies for the operation and management of the Health Center.
• Offer recommendations for new programs or modifications of existing programs. (These policies shall in no way detail the actual practice of medicine.)
• Review the annual budget proposal with the Director in advance of its presentation to the Service Fee Advisory Committee.
• Provide such other advice on health and Health Center matters as the Vice-Chancellor might request.
