Community Care Virtually

Virtual Walk-In gives you access to UHS doctors from home

Receiving walk-in care has never been easier at UHS. Not only can patients head to one of UHS’ three in-person walk-in locations, but that same care is also available virtually at nyuhs.zipnosis.com.

“If you have a smartphone, tablet or computer, you can get care for many walk-in conditions wherever you’re located in the Southern Tier,” says Sean Britton, system program manager, Virtual Health and Digital Transformation at UHS. “One way our Virtual Walk-In is unique is you will see the same providers you see in UHS walk-in locations, under the clinical leadership of a UHS physician.”

That UHS physician is Anthony Consolazio, MD, who oversees the UHS Virtual Walk-In. “The key difference in our service is that you’re seeing our own providers locally. A lot of other health systems use a national service,” says Dr. Consolazio. Not only does this mean you’re getting care from a qualified UHS provider, but it also means if you do have to go into a location for follow-up care, you’ll be meeting with the same team that assisted you virtually.
