Health Center Reopens for Patient Care

The Chiropractic Health Center case doctors and staff continue to evaluate and adapt to the changing environment and needs of patients and intern learning. The new schedule in effect as of today includes patient care hours of Monday-Thursday, from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 2 - 5 p.m.

This schedule:
  • Increases the number of patient care hours from 18 to 24 hours per week
  • Increases the choice of patient care scheduling days, based on clinic level, from three per week to four (M-Th)
  • Provides a greater level of service and care to patients
  • Provides better oversight and instruction to interns
  • Provides sequestered time for faculty and staff, which allows for focused patient management review, training, personal development and growth

As with all revisions, the college will carefully monitor outcomes and adapt as required.
Food Services for 2021

Similar to last quarter, Sherman College will continue its modified approach to providing food services to campus.

The college will continue its partnership with AVI Foodsystems in providing the “Market C” micro market concept. This provides the campus with convenient, self-serving access to fresh sandwiches, salads and platters, hot coffee and tea, bottled beverages, as well as a wide variety of snacks, pastries and more. Market C is located in the café space of the Gelardi Student Center and is accessible anytime the building is open.

The college has also continued and expanded its partnership with local food truck services for campus. This aspect of food services will stay in place through the winter quarter, as long as the demand from our campus community supports it. Please be sure to visit and welcome our food service partners to campus.

  • The Streatery food truck is scheduled on Mondays from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. It will be located in the circle lot between Scallon Hall and the Health Center. The Streatery will begin serving the campus the week beginning January 18, but due to the college being closed for the MLK holiday on Monday of that week, it will be here that Friday, January 22.

  • Mexibilly’s food truck is scheduled on Wednesdays from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. It will also be located in the circle lot between Scallon Hall and the Health Center. Mexibilly’s will begin serving the campus on January 13.

As campus protocols are re-assessed in the future, we will continue to review and modify food services as needed.
COVID Protocol Reminder

Please check your email for the latest information regarding our Return to Campus Guidelines. The college created protocols with the primary goal of ensuring everyone’s safety as we return full-time to campus. Students and employees are expected to adhere to the protocols at all times while on campus. Please review these guidelines carefully.

Most importantly – people who are sick, feel sick or think they may be sick must not come to campus. Keep instructors and department heads informed. If you are notified you have been exposed to COVID-19 while you are on campus, you must leave campus immediately. Please direct any questions or concerns to Reopening Director Dr. Janice Higgins–Fordree.
