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.
Having the ability to assess pest problems in schools is essential for a successful integrated pest management (IPM) program. However, such expertise can be costly and is not available to all school districts across the United States. The web-based IPM Calculator was developed to address this problem. By answering questions about the condition of a building and the behaviors of individuals who use it, any pest management professional or building manager can use the IPM Calculator to assess pest risk at a school campus and obtain IPM-based solutions to reduce that pest risk. This new tool is available online at http://ipmcalculator.com.
