Weill Cornell Community Service Program Report 2010 - 2011

humanitarianism among medical students and physicians.
The clinic is open every Monday from 5pm–8pm and is located at 505 East 70th Street and is
staffed by numerous student volunteers and a volunteer attending physician each week.
Students coordinate every aspect of the clinic administration including patient care under the
supervision of an attending physician, patient and physician recruitment, clinic finances,
grant writing, fundraising, referrals to specialty services, pharmacy services, quality
assurance, and maintenance of the clinic’s website (http://wccc.med.cornell.edu/).
During the 2010-2011 academic year, the WCCC provided patients with social work and
mental health service where it is determined appropriate and hosted a community outreach
program to screen for cardiovascular disease and diabetes in underserved neighborhoods
called “WCCC Heart-to-Heart Outreach Campaign”.
