At their Annual Community Meeting May 30th, Schuyler Hospital named Schuyler County Public Health their Community Partner of the Year.
The Community Partner Award is presented annually to an organization or individual as recognition for helping Schuyler Hospital achieve its mission.
Schuyler Hospital and Schuyler County Public Health partner to produce the Hospital’s Community Service Plan and Public Health’s Community Health Improvement Plan, setting appropriate goals and implementing programs to address identified needs.
To reduce obesity in children and adults, they implemented Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Schuyler. HEAL Schuyler includes Active Living Every Day classes, the Schuyler Walks website for hiking trail maps and a list of area walks and runs, printed trail maps distributed throughout county, Choose HEALth to help restaurants and worksites identify healthier options, and a monthly newsletter.
Public Health and the Hospital meet monthly on community health issues, work collaboratively, and are able to call on other community partners as needed.
Currently, the two organizations are working together to bring back Schuyler County Strong Kids Safe Kids this Fall as part of an overall Community Falls Fit Fest.
The 2015 award went to Arcangeli Farm, 2016 to the Schuyler Hospital Auxiliary, and 2017 to Ken Wilson.
what our patients are saying
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
