Dr. Bernard Kruger and Dr. Emily Kuo started discussing the creation of a personalized medical program for college students when Dr. Kruger’s daughter experienced, first-hand, the shortcomings of the university health system in the Fall of 2019. Further, Dr. Kuo recalled needing additional and significant support when she caught mono as a junior in college. In a twist of fate, the covid pandemic re-defined the healthcare landscape and set the stage for this conversational idea to take shape. Dr. Kruger discussed the idea with Geoffrey Kanter, our business partner and a long-time family friend, and Campus MedShield became a reality.
At Campus MedShield, our core mission is to provide college students with personalized, high-quality, and timely medical services supported by innovative digital technology and round-the-clock access to licensed physicians and national laboratories while they transition from childhood to adult independence. We provide parents with the peace of mind to know that they have a partner in Campus MedShield who cares as much about their college student’s health as they do. As we establish a physician-patient relationship with your college student, we look to empower your student to take ownership of their own health.
