Grand Central Clinic

The Grand Central Neighborhood Shelter is part of the Grand Central Neighborhood Social Services Corporation (GSNSSC) and primarily serves transient men. A team of Weill Cornell students visits the shelter once a week throughout the academic year.

A fourth year student, two second-year and two first-year students team up to take vital signs (blood pressure, temperature and pulse) to obtain the medical history. We also dress wounds, dispense healthcare products, address the medical concerns of the clients, and educate them on preventive care such as hygiene, safe sex and maintenance of current treatments. The fourth year students provide any necessary referrals to a licensed physician.
