Student Health and Counseling ASAP Acute Care Clinic to be named after former director Dr. Olga M. Eaton
January 28, 2026
The University of New Mexico Student Health and Counseling (SHAC) ASAP Acute Care Clinic is set to receive a new name and a complete remodel. A crucial step in this transformation took place Tuesday, Jan. 13, during a dedication ceremony attended by former SHAC director Dr. Olga M. Eaton’s colleagues, family and friends.  Thanks to the generosity of Dr. R. Philip “Phil” Eaton, the clinic will be named in honor of his late wife, Olga, who served as SHAC’s director for 14 years during her tenure at UNM. The new name — the Olga M. Eaton, M.D., ASAP Acute Care Clinic — will appear at the clinic’s entrance alongside a handcrafted tin memory box celebrating her compassionate and supportive nature.
