Telemedicine and MCC
If you need to see a doctor, but have no time to miss class or work, medical services are now available in the Health Sciences Facility on campus. Partnering with MY Health-e-Schools Telemedicine Program, the health sciences programs serves students as well as faculty and staff, providing many services including the common sore throat, cough or stomach ache, chronic disease management, medical management and telepsychology/telebehavioral health. MY Health-e-Schools functions just like a regulard doctor's office. Insurance claims are filed; with co-pays and deductibles billed to the patient. There is also a sliding scale fee for those without insurance. Best of all, students enrolled in health science programs gain valuable experience working with medical professionals as they are placed in real-life scenarios. For more information on this service or any Health Sciences Program, contact Dean Sheryl Young at 766-1350.

Free Everyday Life Skills Class!
Mayland Community College is offering a new Everyday Life Skills Class for adults at the Avery Learning Center in Newland. Everyday life skills are things many take for granted, but for some adults, learning to read a calendar, food labels, and count change are obtainable goals that give life purpose and meaning.
This free class covers a wide variety of material including functional academics, community living, health and safety, and leisure and humanities. Students will set personal goals and learn how to meet them. Students will also participate in extended enrichment activities including arts and crafts, games, and field trips. The class, in collaboration with Avery Transportation, will travel to Mayland’s Main Campus for monthly haircuts and manicures at no charge. They will also go on trips to Boone where they will bowl or catch a movie, and have lunch at a local restaurant.
