COVID-19 and Viral Illness

If you are ill with flu-like symptoms and you have a fever, we request that you do not come to campus until you are feeling better.  Please review the following recommendations when you are ill, or if you test positive for Covid-19: SUNY CCC: Isolation Precautions and Self Care For Viral Illness  There are free masks available in the Health Office. Order free covid tests at: https://special.usps.com/testkits

Protect yourself from illness; wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds or use an alcohol based sanitizer, and follow your Primary Care Provider's advice on vaccinations.

Covid vaccination is not required for SUNY CCC students.  SUNY continues to encourage everyone to stay up to date with Covid vaccines and boosters. 

Naloxone dispensers available on campus

Have you noticed the red naloxone or Narcan dispensers around campus?  They are next to, or near the AEDs, and there is one located in every campus building, including the Elmira Center and ACP.   Naloxone is a medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, and it is easy to use.   Do you know how to use naloxone to help someone who may have overdosed on an opioid?  Do you know the signs of an opioid overdose?  Be prepared to save a life.  Watch the video here to learn how, and see the AHA: Using Naloxone Algorithm for a quick reference guide.   Please call the Health Office at 607-962-9257 if you would like in person training.  Campus Locations of Naloxone Dispensers

In the event of a medical emergency always call 911

The 911 dispatcher will notify Public Safety (607-962-9000) of the emergency. 

Wellness Wednesdays

When classes are in session, stop by the Kelly Lounge on Wednesdays around lunchtime to see the nurse, find out about upcoming events, and learn about relevant health topics. She usually has snacks on the table. Let us know if there's a topic that you think we should cover.  

CPR Awareness Education 

We are now able to offer hands only CPR education to anyone on campus.  Did you know that only 40 percent of Americans who suffer a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital receive bystander CPR prior to the arrival of EMS?  Do you want to learn how to help?  Stop by the Health Office, call or email us to learn more.  AHA CPR-Facts-and-Stats

Come relax in the massage chair/recliner.   Let us make you a cup of tea while you use the room to unwind.  The Health Office and this room are located on the lower level of the Commons Building in the same hallway as Public Safety.  The room is available on a first come, first served basis, or call us at 607-962-9257 to reserve a spot.
