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.
