Cornell Health is a fully accredited ambulatory care center with more than 200 employees, committed to providing integrated and culturally sensitive medical, mental health, health promotion and public health services for the diverse Cornell community. Cornell Health is nationally recognized for innovation and leadership in the development of integrated, cost-effective, and community-based services and campus health initiatives.

Cornell Health's Medical Department aims to provide collaborative, innovative, vibrant, holistic clinical care for patients' biopsychosocial needs. We offer services with a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, encouraging each team member to utilize their professional skills and personal compassion to care for an individual's needs. We aspire to provide care as a Patient Centered Medical Home, a model of primary care tailored to the urgent and long-term needs of each person. We care for any person with any problem and welcome all members of our diverse community to our team and services. Cornell Health, by organizational necessity, requires collaborative and attitudinal skills that foster enthusiasm, professional and personal growth, cooperation, mutually respectful communication, flexibility, initiative and adaptability.

Physicians at Cornell Health provide direct ambulatory primary patient care to students of the university. Each physician has responsibility to provide or arrange for comprehensive care for a patient's holistic needs - including their medical, mental health, emotional and social issues. All physicians collaborate with community and other Cornell Health physician colleagues, health associates, nursing staff, ancillary and support staff, professional psychotherapist staff, physical therapists and health educators to provide comprehensive care to students as patients. In their clinical work with students, physicians are involved with the developmental, educational, emotional, psychological, social and academic aspects of students' lives, and often are called upon to interact with parents, faculty and other professionals, both on and off campus in a patient-centered medical home model of primary care delivery.
