She is intuitive and pays attention to detail well. Rebecca always manages to keep this one instructor on her toes and she is very thankful for her thoughtful reminders.

The building is being demolished and a new, modern facility nearby will replace it in the Fall. During this summer, beginning today - May 27, the Teen Clinic will be co-located with the Fair Oaks Children's Clinic at 630 Laurel Street in Redwood City (adjacent to Hoover Elementary School). Because of space considerations, there will be reduced staffing and services, but we wanted to be sure to continue some level of medical care for your students during the summer months. Instead of the usual clinic days, the clinic will operate from Tuesday to Saturday. There will be no Monday clinic, but the addition of the Saturday clinic may be attractive to some students, and we are hoping they will take advantage of this. Our clinics for the Compass program students will continue on your campuses as planned. Our phone number will remain the same, 366-2927. If there is any difficulty, the Children's Clinic number can also be used: 261-3710. Thanks for your patience and cooperation. J. Mesinger/Clinics Mgr.
