Virtual Health

The nationally accredited UHS Virtual Walk-In brings care for common minor acute-care conditions to patients located anywhere in New York State 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., seven days a week. UHS Virtual Walk-In is staffed exclusively by UHS providers and is powered by Zipnosis.

United Health Services has partnered with the Windsor Central School District, Whitney Point Central School District and Owego-Apalachin Central School District to provide virtual care within the school nurses’ office.

A student can be seen within the virtual walk-in for a minor illness or for a scheduled health appointment with his/her United Health Services primary care, specialty care, or therapy services provider without leaving school.  Through the use of multi-party video technology, the student’s parent or guardian participates in the virtual visit in real-time from his/her location if equipped with a device (smartphone, tablet or computer) and Internet connection.

Students within these districts can digitally enroll within this program by creating an account at nyuhs.zipnosis.com. This program is made possible through grant funding provided by the Care Compass Network.

United Health Services presented two poster presentations at the 2020 American Telemedicine Association Conference and both abstracts were published within the journal Telemedicine and e-Health.

United Health Services is a member of the Rural Telehealth Educational Consortium at the Binghamton University Decker School of Nursing. The purpose of the consortium is to prepare additional primary care and advanced practice registered nursing students to work in rural and underserved areas through the utilization of Virtual Health and Telehealth.

UHS has partnered with the Binghamton University Watson Institute for Systems Excellence (WISE), an institute for advanced studies at Binghamton University, to develop research within the field of Virtual Health and Telehealth.
