Ithaca Health Alliance & Ithaca Free Clinic

Ithaca Health Alliance & Ithaca Free Clinic Grassroots Community Health since 1997 All medical, holistic, and specialty services are FREE and provided by volunteers. Donations welcome!

Since 1997, the Ithaca Health Alliance (IHA) has been dedicated to seeking solutions to local healthcare issues through our three programs:

Ithaca Free Clinic, Ithaca Health Fund and Community Health Education. Ithaca Free Clinic, opened in 2006, is widely known as the first free clinic in the US to offer both primary medical and holistic care through an integrated model. Services are available to anyone who does not have health insurance for the services they need or cannot afford holistic care. There is no residency requirement. Ithaca Health Fund helps area residents (living in Tompkins County and surrounding counties) with low-to-moderate income pay for expenses not covered by health insurance. Community Health Education promotes greater health literacy, prevention and self-care through educational tents, events, newsletters, resources and working with community partners.

Help us celebrate her achievement!! Thank you Beth Harrington for your years of service

Since Beth Harrington moved to Caroline, New York in 1974, she’s served her community as a nurse, an EMT, a paramedic and a firefighter. Now 80, she’s been the president of the Slaterville Volunteer Fire Company for 30 years.

Her latest volunteer effort is addressing a key need in Caroline, with the help of three Cornell graduate students. The small rural town, about 15 minutes from the Ithaca campus, has limited internet and cell-phone coverage. Many older adults, who make up about 18% of the community, have no way of receiving information or help during emergencies like power outages.

So Harrington created an emergency preparedness working group to address the problem, with support of the students who helped shape plans and put them into action. The students developed a survey identifying residents’ most pressing concerns, which in turn led to a report and resource brochure aimed at helping the community make the most of its existing strengths.

On February 5, Cornell will recognize Harrington’s work with the Debra S. Newman ’02 Cornell Tradition Community Recognition Award, which honors local residents who have demonstrated a strong commitment to service and/or leadership in community service.

“She is a voice for those whose needs are often hidden. She is proactive, moving quickly to make change happen, knowing who to talk with to get things done,” Hannah Chow Russell ’19, a master’s student in global development, wrote in Harrington’s nomination letter.

“For decades, she has been creatively utilizing the Fire Department for diverse functions: hosting a caregiver respite program, a social dining program and community working groups.”
