Forrest L. Abbott of Barnard College told the Student Advisory Committee on Health Services that a part time doctor has been added to the 1967-68 budget. Linda Laubenstein said the committee seeks student views on adding a doctor as Barnard expands. Dr Marjory Nelson noted ACHA guidance favors one full time doctor per 1000 students. Obstacles include space, salary and funding. Currently $20 per year yields $54,000. a $35,000 deficit will be covered by General College Fund. Nelson warned an insurer would only cover hospital costs, not funds for medical service. the committee plans to study it further. Abbott said a higher student medical fee could fund $39,000. A poll was suggested but declined. merging with Columbia’s service was rejected in favor of Barnard maintaining its own health service.
Mixed patient comments describe Dr Nelson and the medical office as bureaucratic and slow. Recurrent complaints mention long waits for admission at St Luke's and perceived inadequacies in diagnosis and treatment.
