Bias Response Team
Our Commitment
Cayuga Health is committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment that does not tolerate bias, discrimination, or harassment for any patients, staff, volunteers, learners, or visitors.
We recognize that bias harms individuals and the environment in which we all work, learn, heal, and collaborate. Cayuga Health aims to prevent and address bias-related incidents, including any intentional or unintentional behavior motivated in whole or in part by racism, sexism, ableism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, or other demonstrations of implicit or explicit bias.
This Bias-Related Incident Reporting Form is a tool to report incidents of bias that impact patients, visitors, staff, volunteers, or learners while visiting, working, volunteering, or learning at a Cayuga Health location.
We take all reports of bias-related incidents seriously, and we have a dedicated Bias Response Team to support investigations and follow-up actions.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us what happened.

what our patients are saying
“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!”
“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!!”
