Appointments

Routine/preventive medical visits

Please note that we are currently limiting routine and preventive medical visits to focus resources on COVID-19 testing and care. There may be a longer wait than usual for these visits. 

24/7 phone consultation

Call us at 607-255-5155 any time, day or night, to consult with an on-call medical or mental health provider.

Learn more about our phone consultation service.
 

Appointments are required for most Cornell Health services, with the exception of visits to the Cornell Health pharmacy. 

To schedule an appointment, please see below.

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, please call us for consultation (607-255-5155) instead of visiting our building, unless you have an appointment scheduled for COVID testing / care.

Visiting Cornell Health

In compliance with OSHA's Emergency Temporary Standards for healthcare facilities, anyone visiting Cornell Health must:

  • complete their Daily Check (or a verbal screening for those who can’t do the Daily Check) before entering our building
  • wear a surgical mask (provided upon entry) and practice physical distancing when in our building, regardless of vaccination status 

Students coming for non-medical appointments should call us first (607-255-5155) if you fail the Daily Check screening or have COVID-19 symptoms on the day of your appointment.
