\u201cThe College has experienced an increased demand for all counseling and health services, and\u00a0 Maroon.Care provides additional student-focused medical, mental health and wellness practitioners to serve all Roanoke College students. Maroon.Care also provides access to a diverse group of licensed counselors, which has been a need identified by many Roanoke students,\u201d wrote RC Student Health and Counseling Services in a recent email to students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span> According to that email, the average wait time is five minutes for medical appointments, with a 10-minute average wait time for diagnosis.\u00a0 Students who are under 18 years of age will need a parent or guardian to register for them.\u00a0 Maroon.Care is meant to supplement, not replace, in-person Student Health and Counseling resources.
