Our mission is to deliver high-quality care, empower our teams to succeed and improve the wellbeing of the communities we serve.
Our History
Cayuga Health System unites two longstanding, independent hospitals, Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca and Schuyler Hospital in Montour Falls. Our two hospitals have served our respective communities well for many years. By joining together in a cohesive health-care network, we will be in an even stronger position to provide seamless, comprehensive, community-centered care for the many residents we serve across the Finger Lakes and central New York.
We believe strongly in collaboration, outreach, education, and a productive exchange of ideas. Cayuga Health is affiliated with 24 teaching institutions, among them:
These collaborations complement our highly skilled and respected local medical staff. We are one of only nine rural referral centers in the state, and we are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
Cayuga Medical Center is a New York State Department of Health certified Stroke Center. Cayuga Cancer Center is designated as a Comprehensive Community Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. Our high-field Open MRI services are accredited by the American College of Radiology. We have received the prestigious Patient Safety Award from the NYS Department of Health. In short, we are delighted to be able to report that after decades of hard work and planning, medical and surgical services that residents once had to seek elsewhere are available right here in the community.
The caregivers at Cayuga Health want to help you and the people you love get, and stay, well. If you walk through our doors in need of care, we pledge to you that we will bring to bear the comprehensive resources of our medical center in the service of raising and protecting your level of health and vitality.
