LA GRANDE, Ore. – Eastern Oregon University’s new Health Center Clinical Director is placing a strong emphasis on students’ well-being.
In January 2024, Raylene Eisele assumed the role of clinical director, actively engaging students and encouraging them to utilize the services available at the EOU Student Health and Counseling Center. Many students may not realize the extent of available services covered by their Health Service Fee.
“I believe there’s a lack of awareness regarding our presence and the support we offer,” Eisele remarked. “Students may not fully understand what they’re paying for. They can access comprehensive healthcare right here.”
The Health Center assists with common ailments such as colds, flu, COVID testing, STD testing, wellness exams, birth control, treatment for certain chronic conditions, and immunizations.
Having relocated to Oregon in 2017 from mid-Missouri, Eisele previously worked at Grande Ronde Hospital and later for the Veterans Administration. Seeking a better work-life balance while serving as her parent’s primary caregiver, she found her calling at the Eastern Oregon University Health Center.
“I have a deep appreciation for the student population,” Eisele expressed. “Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with students, and I’m excited to once again support young people in their health journeys.”
In addition to physical health services, the Health Center offers mental health counseling. Student Health and Counseling Center appointments are available for both telehealth and in-person sessions.
The Counseling Center assists students for various reasons. Some seek help in managing the pressures of academic life or adjusting to college. Others aim to enhance their relationship-building skills or address feelings of depression and anxiety. Counseling is beneficial for students looking to evaluate their beliefs or navigate their current life circumstances.
