First Aid and Advice

The College nurses are available to students, faculty and staff to provide with first aid as well as to offer advice and referral to specialists.

Health Checks

This service provides the user with quick and easy checks on a variety of health parameters, including cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar.

Skype with Nurse

If you can't visit the nurse in person, you can connect with her via Skype. While we believe in the value of in-person interactions, we recognize the importance of accessible medical information. Skype offers a convenient way to discuss your concerns, receive immediate guidance, and get information about symptoms. The nurse can help you decide whether to visit the ACG Health & Wellness Center for a checkup or seek medical care elsewhere if needed.

How to get started

The video calls do not have the same intimacy as a medical office visit, but ‘this visit’ is better than ‘no visit. We use it as an initial medical screening tool providing education to our Community. All you really need to do is register, download and install Skype. If you already have an account, then just add as a new contact “nurse.deree.”

This service will be available for advising purposes only and not as a method for diagnosis or for medical counseling. The nurse may not respond immediately if she is busy with a patient or other duties; however, she will respond as soon as she is available.

Keep in mind

Skype is not a replacement for your telephone.
Skype can’t be used for emergency calling.
This is a screening tool for advising purposes only
