Weill Cornell Community Clinic (WCCC)

Also known as Cornell Free Health Clinic

WCCC is a student-run clinic on campus that offers primary medical care to uninsured patients at little or no cost. Its mission is to provide high quality, accessible health care to uninsured adults through consultation, treatment, preventative care and referral services.

Our aim is to extend healthcare access to underprivileged populations of New York City, while encouraging the spirit of volunteerism and philanthropy among medical students and physicians.

The clinic opened its doors in April of 2006 and offers services one day per week. We the students coordinate every aspect of the clinic administration, including patient care, under the supervision of an attending physician. We do patient recruitment, physician recruitment, manage the finances, write grants, organize fundraisers, do clinic assessments/quality assurance, assist clients with enrollment in Medicare or Medicaid, and maintain the website (http://weill.cornell.edu/wccc/). We also provide certain laboratory tests, discount prescription drugs and/or enrollment in Pharmacy Assistance Programs.
