More Information

Appointment Policies and Information

All PPGNY health centers are ADA accessible. We accommodate patients who require assistance, including individuals with wheelchairs, for all appointment types.  

VISITORS IN THE HEALTH CENTER: In order to reduce overcrowding in the waiting room, no more than one companion may accompany each patient into the health center without express permission of the health center manager. This may be reduced during times of pandemic, flu season, or for reasons deemed relevant that would prevent overcrowding of waiting rooms. In some cases, if necessary to accommodate the specific need of a patient, the health center manager will authorize that more than two people may accompany a patient.

Childcare Policies

Children under the age of 12 are not allowed in the waiting area unsupervised.

We’re unable to provide childcare at our health center. For safety reasons children need to be accompanied by an adult when they’re in the waiting room. Only infants can accompany you to the exam room. Please bring a friend or family member to be with your children if you don’t have childcare at home.

Accessibility Options

We offer services to meet the unique communication needs of patients who may be deaf or hard of hearing. If you or your family member needs these services, let our staff know as soon as you book an appointment. We’re here to help you communicate your health care needs.

Services Offered

You can fill your birth control prescriptions at our health center instead of the pharmacy. Please call 1 day before pick up.
