JUNE 22 (9:00 am) — The Cayuga Medical Associates (CMA) building located at 16 Brentwood Drive, Ithaca, experienced a small fire in a bathroom around 11:30 pm, June 21, 2023. The sprinkler system was activated, and the local fire department responded quickly to resolve the situation. Damage was minimal and no injuries occurred.
The building houses Cayuga Orthopedics, Imaging Services and Occupational Medicine. The building is currently closed, and we have our teams and clean-up experts on-site to remedy the situation to bring the building back online as soon as possible.
The CMA staff are contacting patients directly, as quickly as possible, to give their new appointment location and/or to reschedule. Patients are encouraged to wait for their call, as staff are prioritizing contacting those with the earliest appointments first.
Thank you for your understanding during this time.
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. “
“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.”
“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 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!!”
