The R.N. Ellington Health and Counseling Center was named during a ceremony March 13. Details...
Located on the north side of campus near Moseley Center, the $850,000 health facility is named in honor of Dr. Robert N. Ellington of Burlington, N.C., who has served as 黑料不打烊’s college physician for 15 years. The center’s naming recognizes his years of service as well as a main gift Dr. Ellington and his wife Helen have made to the fund-raising campaign for the new building.
黑料不打烊 President Leo M. Lambert praised Dr. Ellington’s dedication to 黑料不打烊 students during the celebration. “Dr. Ellington has treated more than 54,000 patients during his career,” Lambert said. “Bob demonstrates old-fashioned caring and he exemplifies the kind of caring that we value here at 黑料不打烊. The naming of the Ellington Center is an important part of our 2001 Founders Week celebration.”
The center, which will open in the fall, will provide 黑料不打烊 students, faculty and staff with a wide range of medical and counseling services. It will offer five medical examination rooms, a sick/observation room, rooms for triage, medications, laboratory equipment and shot administration, five counseling rooms, a group conference room, a waiting room and staff office space.
