Campus phones: 911 calls go directly to Ithaca College security for the fastest response. Ithaca College will coordinate with local emergency services.

Students must call 607-274-3177 for an appointment before coming to the Health Center and will be directed how to proceed. In order to comply with social distancing recommendations and to reduce the spread of illness, no one will be allowed into the Health Center without talking to our staff on the phone first.  There will be no web-booking available at this time.

Our dispensary will be available for over-the-counter medication purchases. Students should contact the Health Center prior to coming over so that we can best accommodate your needs.

• We will not be offering Medicar services at this time.

We ask that students who are no longer on campus reach out to their home providers for prescription refills, etc.  If this is not possible, students who have been prescribed medication at the health center may contact us via the web portal or by phone to communicate with their Hammond Health Center provider.
