"We manage to meet the needs of the students coming in to receive care from us, but there are lots and lots of students out there who don't ever make it in to see us," said Annette J. Molyneux, PhD, associate dean for the Office of Counseling and Health. "Those are the students we need to reach out to."

Through a partnership with The Scattergood Foundation, a philanthropic non-profit focusing on behavioral health, Drexel will actually receive two different kiosks; the one scheduled for the Recreation Center will focus on students, and another will be placed at the Stephen and Sandra Sheller 11th St. Family Health Services Center to focus on patients and the community.

"I am excited about it," said Patricia Gerrity, associate dean for community programs at the College of Nursing and Health Professions and director of 11th Street Family Health Services. "This is a pilot program that will help us reach an underserved population and help guide people to needed services. I think it's going to have some good results and we're going to learn from it."
