| Health Office Services & COVID-19 Update: |
|
SUNY CCC is closely monitoring local, state and federal guidance on COVID-19 and continues to work to maintain a safe campus. The Health Office at SUNY CCC remains open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. We request that if you are ill with symptoms of COVID-19 such as cough, difficulty breathing, or fever that you do not come to campus. The Health Office recommends that you contact your primary care provider for further instruction. If you are on campus and develop symptoms it is requested that you call 607-962-9257 before coming to the health center. All students who come to campus must participate in weekly COVID testing, unless the student has tested positive for COVID in the past 90 days. Pooled testing is available to all students and employees, but you may choose to obtain your own COVID test elsewhere. If you choose the second option please submit your weekly COVID test results to: healthoffice@corning-cc.edu. Having been vaccinated for COVID does not excuse anyone from the mandatory testing. The Health Office does not have COVID vaccine available. For information on obtaining a COVID vaccine visit Am I eligible or call the New York vaccine hotline at 833-697-4829. The Health Office will continue to monitor COVID cases on campus. Please notify healthoffice@corning-cc.edu if you test positive for COVID-19, or are required to quarantine for close contact with a COVID positive individual. All personal information will be kept confidential. The SUNY COVID Tracker has numbers of COVID-19 cases. Please note, not all cases listed for SUNY CCC involve campus exposure, as it is a list of the total number of students and employees testing positive, whether they have recently been on campus or not. If there is campus exposure, contact tracing is implemented by the local departments of health. It is very important that you fill out the COVID-19 screening form each day before coming to campus. Protect yourself from illness; wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds or use an alcohol based sanitizer, maintain 6 feet from others and wear a face mask when you can not maintain distancing. |

Telemedicine at SUNY CCC
The Health Office is able to offer virtual medical care to students and employees through an arrangement with Schuyler Hospital. If a medical evaluation is requested, the nurse will complete an assessment and then arrange a telemedicine appointment with a Schuyler Hospital doctor or NP. The provider will see you virtually in CCC’s health office, and can prescribe medications, or order testing for you, if indicated. These appointments can be arranged in as little as 15 minutes, and your insurance will be billed for this service.
Telemedicine will be available in the Health Office, Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 12 pm and 12:45 pm to 2 pm. For more information, or to schedule an appointment please call the Health Office.
