Faculty and staff can visit the Faculty/Staff Acute Care Clinic for minor and acute medical issues only. Appointments are required for the clinic.

The clinic is located in the Student Wellness Center within the Steve Clark YMCA. Most appointments are $30 to $50 for an office visit evaluation by a Student Health Services medical provider, dependent on insurance. The office visit cost does not include the costs for laboratory services, medications or radiology services. Call 316-978-4792 to schedule an appointment. Accidents or injuries while on the job are not eligible for appointments and instead are considered Workers Compensation, call Human Resources for guidance.

Co-pays or deductibles are the employee’s responsibility and depend on personal health insurance benefits.

The Office of Faculty Advancement, Retention, and Excellence (FARE) is sponsoring several weekly groups to support faculty through June and July. Whether you are working on research, writing, creative activities or course development, you are welcome to join if community would support you in pursuit of your summer to-do list.

Summer “Get Stuff Done” groups:

Thursdays:

• Virtual group: 1-3 p.m. June 4-July 23 on Microsoft Teams, hosted by William Weare. This is a great option for those working on creative activities or who need to work from home but would benefit from time blocked on their calendar and the structure of a group.
