Cayuga Health

Our mission is to deliver high-quality care, empower our teams to succeed and improve the wellbeing of the communities we serve.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Our Philosophy

At Cayuga Health, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are strategic priorities, and when they are incorporated into everything we do, all of us thrive. We are committed to building a house of diversity, equity, and inclusion, where we provide the highest quality care for all patients, create a sense of belonging for all employees, and support the healthiest communities.

Our Courageous Commitments

Cayuga Health’s commitment to inclusive excellence means being bold, thinking outside of the box, and building new structures that create a strong foundation for the house of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Achieving Equity

We commit to achieving equity so that all patients employees, and community members have access to the resources they need to succeed.

Fostering Belonging

We commit to fostering belonging so that everyone is secure, supported, expected, and celebrated in all of our spaces.

Valuing Voices

We commit to valuing voices, where input from our patients, employees, and community members is central to all of our decisions.


We recognize that healthcare hasn’t always worked for everyone. We’re working to change that. Hear from local community members and healthcare providers about why DEI is so important to us.
