Vaccination clinics further fulfill vision for Hughes Fieldhouse


Inside the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse Thursday morning on the 威尼斯人在线 campus, students in a recreation class formed a circle on the field turf to begin an activity. 一名教员绕着草坪慢跑. 数以百计的人, 来自整个地区的社区, filed through the south doors of the spacious building to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.

Thursday’s vaccination clinic was the third in a series organized by Mosaic Medical Center-Maryville, 诺达威县卫生局和西北地区.

志愿者们检查了体温和登记情况, the vaccine candidates were ushered to a seating area on the south curve of the indoor track where they completed health forms and waited their turns to receive their shot. 接种疫苗后, 个人被转移到另一个座位区, where volunteers observed them for 15 to 30 minutes for any signs of allergic reaction. 从一个人进入大楼的那一刻起, the entire process can take as little as 20 minutes or up to 40 minutes at peak times.

威尼斯人在线没有. 1 goal is to get as many vaccines in arms as fast as we possibly can,——内特·布莱克福德, 玛丽维尔马赛克医疗中心的主席, 说. “威尼斯人在线很幸运能得到足够的疫苗供应. 对威尼斯人在线周围的人来说, 当然是在密苏里州, 哪些人更难获得这些疫苗, 威尼斯人在线可以成为他们来接种疫苗的地方.”

Among those receiving their vaccines Thursday morning was the couple whose names the building bears. Northwest alumni Carl and Cheryl Hughes reside in Platte County and are eligible to receive the vaccine within 国家1B阶段,第2层, 65岁以上的人, but they had been unable to get an appointment at other locations. After learning about the opportunity to receive the vaccine in Maryville, they registered and secured appointments at the Hughes Fieldhouse.

“It’s just fun to see the collaboration and coordination of this with all the different groups,卡尔·休斯在接种疫苗后说道. “It’s an uplifting kind of event to see people respond like this. 一年前, 威尼斯人在线都不确定威尼斯人在线要去哪里, and here we are within 11 months (since the first positive COVID-19 case in Nodaway County). 有一个解决方案,威尼斯人在线是其中的一部分.”

After a year when the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have dampened the spirits of so many, 周四在休斯球场的现场是, 正如一些人所描述的, festive – and it was yet another example of the facility fulfilling a vision the University and its community partners had when planning for it began almost a decade ago.  

从一开始, Northwest outlined four goals for the facility: promoting health, 为西北地区的学生提供健康和参与项目, faculty and staff as well as the broader community; providing a competitive advantage relative to Northwest’s intercollegiate athletics teams and overall programming; enhancing Northwest’s ability to recruit, retain and engage students; and providing enhanced community partnership opportunities and economic development outcomes.

Carl and Cheryl Hughes provided major support through their Hughes Family Foundation with the Mel and Valorie Booth family, the city of Maryville and Nodaway Valley Bank working together as “team captains” of the Founding 50, 一组75名捐赠者捐赠50美元,000或更多的项目.

于2018年秋季开业,作为 西北地区的永久绿色运动, 137年,250平方英尺, $21 million facility represents the single largest public-private partnership in Northwest’s history and one of the largest such projects in the region ever.

“We always had a vision that it would be for supporting our athletic programs, 支持威尼斯人在线的学术项目, 支持威尼斯人在线的学生活动, 还有其他社区的努力, and this is a beautiful way for us to continue to help the community,” Dr. Matt Baker, Northwest’s vice president of student affairs, 说 at Thursday’s clinic.

Blackford, 谁也是威尼斯人在线的校友, 添加, “看到合作伙伴走到一起是非常值得的. 看到这个设施被用于其他目的是值得的. 这个设施一直是做这件事的完美场所. 它提供了充足的停车位。. 它为进入大楼提供了充足的通道. We could not ask for a better facility or a better partner in the University to help us with logistical support. 这是整个团队的努力.”

除了成功的疫苗接种诊所, the Hughes Fieldhouse has allowed Northwest to continue hosting a variety of activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The space has allowed the University to meet mitigation requirements and still offer events such as its biannual Career Days and Student Organization Fairs.

该设施举办过电影之夜, Greek Life activities and a variety of recreational activities, 包括每个工作日早上的社区步行时间. 在接下来的几周里, more than 450 students are registered to participate in about 150 intramural flag football games from 7 p.m. 到1 a.m. 星期一、星期二和星期三.

Classes and University meetings continue in the building’s classroom spaces. 熊猫运动队, as well as high school and Maryville Parks and Recreation teams, 使用设施进行练习. A number of collegiate, high school and open indoor track meets have taken place, too.

Carl Hughes enjoys hearing stories about the activities happening at the fieldhouse and knowing “it’s doing what we all wanted it to do.”

“I am a big community guy, and Maryville’s community is nothing short of remarkable,” he 说. “这很特别.”
