Health Center

The J. David Hammond Center for Student Health Services, located at the center of the campus adjacent to the Campus Center, is a primary health care center for the students of Ithaca College. We provide care by appointment and on an urgent care basis for most student illnesses and injuries. The Hammond Health Center works closely with Cayuga Medical Center and with local and regional specialists in virtually every discipline to provide referrals whenever off-campus care is necessary.

In addition to ambulatory care, we offer laboratory testing through our licensed and accredited laboratory, on-site X-rays, and selected prescription medications. Health center clinicians work with psychologists in the Ithaca College Counseling Center, housed in the same building, to care for students in crisis and those requiring medication to supplement their counseling. Four board-certified physicians and two licensed physician assistants -- assisted by an extensive staff of registered nurses, nurse aides, laboratory, and X-ray technologists, and administrative, clerical, and insurance specialists -- provide care whenever the College is in session.

The Hammond Health Center has been accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.
