Women's health center nears open
By Andrea Wetzler | August 20, 1993The College will begin a Women's Health program, a special department at Dick's House, to educate the community onwomen's health issues and provide health services for female students. The new department, which will open next week, was announced Tuesday at a forum on sex and women's health issues sponsored by the Panhellenic Council. The College has set aside $78,975 for the new department for the current fiscal year, which started last month, according to the Dean of Students Office. Dick's House pushed for the program due to the increased importance and demand of women's health service at the College, according to Dr. Nield Mercer, the assistant director for clinical affairs at the College health service. The College hired nurse practicioner Janice Sundnas to head the program.
