At Ithaca College, we value the health and wellness of our campus community, so it makes sense that the Ithaca-based Cayuga Health System (CHS), the region’s leading health care administrator, is the college’s official health services provider. CHS provided crucial support with Ithaca College’s reopening efforts following the COVID-19 pandemic, and IC’s sports medicine, physical therapy, and physician assistant programs benefit from formal relationships with the health system.
Benefits to students include extended service hours, a streamlined referral process for specialist care, access to a wider range of services through CHS affiliates, and an integrated behavioral health model that includes on-site behavioral health consultants and one remote behavioral health/ collaborative care manager. The partnership also provides ample potential for student learning experiences.
