Partnership with CBOs
CAP Community Healthcare Forum
On November 1st, CAP hosted its first Community Healthcare Forum at The Space at GreenStar. Business leaders and community members from Tompkins County were invited to participate with the goal of understanding the current national climate of healthcare and the efforts of local CAP providers to address the issues facing our community. CAP’s ability to deliver high quality, local, affordable
healthcare is important to local businesses and community members, and independent data supports that CAP is doing just that. Data from Excellus tracking CAP providers from 2012 to 2016 shows CAP providers have significantly improved the quality of care while the total cost of care has grown at a rate below other providers regionally (7% cumulatively). Community collaboration and support is required for CAP to continue working with payers towards arrangements that return these savings to the community in the form of lower premiums.
Funding to improve healthcare delivery
CAP is Awarded Care Compass Network Innovation Funding
On October 18th, Care Compass Network (CCN) announced CAP is one of eight recipients of Innovation Funds. CCN developed the Innovation Fund to promote and fund innovative ideas that transform the existing healthcare system and support the goal of New York’s Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) Program. DSRIP is a major collaborative effort to improve the State’s Medicaid healthcare delivery system.
what our patients are saying
“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!!”
“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 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. “
“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.”
