Healthy Life Center — Ithaca

Finding us

The building is on the east side of North Triphammer Road, just north of the Ithaca Mall. If you are coming up from downtown Ithaca, stay on Triphammer past the mall and Cayuga Heights; we are a few minutes further on. Parking is free and directly in front, so there is no garage to navigate and no meter to feed.

The practice has been at this address since 1996. If you looked us up years ago and were not ready then, we are still where you left us.

Where our patients come from

Most people who come here live within about twenty minutes of the door.

Ithaca itself and Cayuga Heights are the closest, both a short drive down Triphammer. Lansing is essentially next door. From Dryden or Freeville, the run in along Route 13 takes roughly twenty minutes outside of rush hour. Trumansburg is about twenty-five minutes around the top of the lake, Newfield a similar stretch from the south, and Groton around twenty-five from the northeast.

We see a steady number of Cornell and Ithaca College staff and graduate students, largely because the office is closer to north campus than anything downtown and the parking is not a fight.

If you are coming from further out, it is worth knowing that a first visit takes about an hour and follow-ups are much shorter. People driving in from Cortland or Watkins Glen usually book the first visit with time to spare and find the later ones easy to fit around a working day.

Getting here in winter

Triphammer is a main road and gets cleared early, which is more than can be said for some of the hill routes into town. If the weather is bad and you are not sure whether to attempt the drive, call the front desk on (607) 266-4325 before you set out. Moving an appointment is free and takes thirty seconds. We would rather do that than have anyone slide down a hill on our account.
