Development of a health service at a rural community college in Appalachia.
The successful implementation by a large public university health service of a satellite clinic involves a number of processes and funding issues. The authors discuss the development of such a program at a small community college in Appalachia. The first 4 years' experience in operating the satellite clinic created a number of valuable management lessons that they believe could assist others with similar goals for extending their services.
