Student housing
- Don't worry about finding living quarters. The hospital maintains a couple of modern mobile homes near the hospital. Each has a living room, kitchen/dining room, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Each unit is shared by several students—both male and female—who are participating in an internship program at the hospital.
- The kitchen is equipped with a microwave, range, full refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster and a small assortment of cooking utensils. The larger bathroom has a shower with tub and plenty of counter/cabinet space. The smaller one has just a toilet and sink.
- Most of the bedrooms are fairly small. All have their own lock separate from the entrance lock. Most bedrooms have a twin bed, nightstand, lamp, and a closet. The closet has towels, clothes hangers and extra blankets.
- The living room has a couch, coffee table, two recliners, and a satellite television with both VCR and DVD. There is also a washer and dryer in each house that are free! In addition, there is an iron and ironing board in each room. Each house differs slightly in its contents, because past students have left different things behind.
- There is also a small apartment building (about 10 apartments) right next to the hospital that is used if the mobile homes are full. They are primarily used for outpatients transferred from another clinic or for temporary employees.
