Welcome back for another great academic year! 

Here in Health and Wellness, we have already been busy seeing students. Upper respiratory viruses are the most common medical diagnosis at Health and Wellness Services, so far.  Symptoms may include a runny nose, sore throat and cough that could last for a couple of days to a couple weeks.  In addition, there have been cases of flu (Influenza A) on campus.  Flu symptoms may include feeling feverish or chills, a cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and/or fatigue.  Learn more  by visiting the NYS Health Connector - Flu Tracker Weekly - NYAPD.  Recommendations from our medical team include getting the flu shot, rest, fluids, and over-the-counter pain relievers and possibly decongestants. These infections are usually viral and typically resolve within one to two weeks on their own. If symptoms last longer than 10 days, then you should be seen by a medical provider. Overall, ways to lower your risk of infection include the following:  getting plenty of sleep, staying physically active, managing your stress, drinking plenty of fluids, and eating nutritious food.

As always, as a student, you are able to be seen by our medical staff and given over-the-counter medications and prescription medications, if needed, at no cost to you (some restrictions apply). Please, don’t hesitate to reach out if you wish to be evaluated by our team.  Alfred Campus- call us at 607-587-4200 to set up a time to visit (appointment only).  Wellsville Campus- call 607-587-3141 or visit the health center in the PSU for a walk-in appointment.

Medical excuses or "notes" excusing students from class will not be provided. However, confirmation dates and times a student received treatment can be accessed through the student health portal, to be provided to their faculty.
