We employ more than 150 people, including board certified physicians, consulting medical specialists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, health technologists, pharmacists, health educators and other health professionals. In addition to paid staff, FSU students work and volunteer in many of our specialty programs. If you’re interested, we have a Student Advisory Committee working in partnership with senior administrative staff on projects, issues, student concerns and campus agendas known as the SHARE Team. Meeting monthly, the Share Team formulates recommendations about the operations of the Health Center.

I am committed to providing students on our campus excellence in our healthcare endeavors. Our staff is working to continuously improve service delivery in clinical services, health education and promotion, auxiliary services and insurance needs.

Some of the projects in the immediate future from Thagard Student Health Center include:

• Streamlining admissions and reducing waiting times
• Providing a stronger and more benefits enriched insurance program and insurance assistance for students
• Engaging the “Reaching In” programs on Campus to strengthen our outreach efforts
• Harnessing the power of technology to provide the best service to students
• Underwriting a First Responders Club where students will be helping other students
• Improving access to students living off campus, including creating medical safety nets for students when the Health Center is closed

Stop in and visit when you’re on campus. Our staff is waiting to assist you with your healthcare needs. For questions, concerns, or comments, email me at lsacher@admin.fsu.edu. Enjoy your visit on our Web site and stop by often.

Go Noles!
