Student Health now offers individualized campus care options

Groups known as care teams, consisting of physicians, nurse practitioners and a primary care provider, will now give healthcare treatment for USC students. There are three care teams — blue, red and green — housed in the Thompson Student Health Center, and each student on campus is automatically assigned to one. If the primary care physician in a care team is unavailable, other physicians and providers in the care team will see students. “The main message that we want to give to students is that we care about their overall health,” said Marjorie Riddle Duffie, Public Relations and Marketing Director of Student Health Services. “We want to make sure they’re doing OK in all aspects of their lives.” Students will be asked general questions about how they’re doing and sometimes specific questions about other things they may have sought help for, such as stress and tobacco use. “In most instances, if they’re seeing more than one of our providers, those providers are seeing each other’s notes and collaborating on that patient’s care,” Riddle Duffie said. The Student Health Center hopes to provide better overall diagnoses and health recommendations to patients through these new care teams. DG

Carolina’s No. 1 fan A Carolina legacy relies on her ‘Webb’ of support Amber Stanton @AMBS____
W i t h o v e r 5, 0 0 0 v o t e s , Li ndsay Webb, a t h ird-year advertising student, was selected from five video contestants to be Carolina’s No. 1 fan for this year’s Homecoming. A V i r g i n i a n at i ve , Webb admits that USC wasn’t her fi rst choice even though her mom, au nt a nd u ncle a re a l l USC alumni. After deciding to come to Columbia, Webb has gotten into the school spirit. She heard about the contest last year and wished she had
participated, so when the time came to enter t h is year, she decided to give it a shot. For mer USC qu a r terbac k Connor Shaw and his daughter, M ila Mar ie, a re feat u red i n Webb’s winning video. Webb made signs in for Shaw last year for home games and would run into him on campus, so when she asked him to participate, he agreed. Webb said she didn’t have to spend a lot of time making the video because she brings her GoPro camera to football games — she had recorded most of the material beforehand. For Webb, it wasn’t just the tailgating package she won that made her feel like a w in ner. Bragging rights were really the prize she wanted, she said.
Her mom came down from Virginia for the game against Furman and surprised Webb at t he Homecom ing parade. She said she was excited to have her mom here, especially since she helped her daughter win by getting friends to vote. We b b i s a l s o a m e m b e r of t he K appa K appa Gamma sorority, and last year she was on the morale team for Dance Marathon, which she hopes to be involved with again come spring. It was her moment to shine, but Webb said she doesn’t think she would have won wit hout the help of her sorority sisters, friends and family who shared her message and voted. DG
