Fresh off hip surgery, Claire Fischer had all she could do to walk across campus. Physical therapy was necessary to get back to normal. And help was just a few steps away in the Student Health Center.
“They got me back to feeling like myself again in a timely fashion,” says Fischer. And it was much cheaper than going off-campus.
