  Rejected by the President
• Summary / Notes:

  Dear Zora, 

    

  Thank you for conveying SA R26: Vending Self-Care Supplies. I appreciate the SA’s interest in ensuring essential health-related supplies are accessible for our community. 

    

  Cornell Health remains committed to providing self-care supplies such as Emergency Contraception and Narcan through the vending machine located in the lobby of Cornell Health, as well as access to free Covid-19 tests. The vending machine is filled three times a day, six days a week by pharmacy staff. Although not conveniently located on North Campus, Cornell Health can provide these supplies because the machine is supplied via inventory from the pharmacy, which keeps the prices consistent. At this time, medical vending is not slated to expand.  

    

  I ask that the Student Assembly Student Health Advisory Committee work with Cornell Health to discuss alternatives to continue to improve how we make supplies accessible.  

    

  Sincerely, 

  Michael Kotlikoff 

   

   

   

  Michael Kotlikoff, V.M.D., Ph.D., Sc.D. (h.c.)

  President and Professor of Molecular Physiology
