"One of the Best Things We Could Have Ever Done"
As a small, rural, HBCU with a limited number of medical clinic staff and only one mental health counselor, Claflin University needed to find a solution to address:
- Growing demand for mental health care to help students persist
- Lack of broad access to diverse mental health counselors
- The need to better support faculty and staff
- Affordable crisis management and after-hours care
Beyond delivering mental health and medical support, Claflin and TimelyCare’s partnership contributes to the school’s culture of well-being, creating a healthier campus through a connected system of care.

Culturally Competent Care
Research shows that a lack of representation in health care providers can lead to negative health outcomes. And, while a study from the Journal of Adolescent Health found that 40% of Black college students requested campus health services, only 11.7% of the campus counseling center staff across the country are Black.
With over 50% of our provider network identifying as people of color, TimelyCare is committed to offering college students, faculty, and staff a provider network that reflects the diversity of the campuses that we serve. And with TimelyCare’s scheduled mental health and medical visits, students are able to select the provider they want to get the care that they need.
