Cayuga Medical Center has been recognized by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield with a Blue Distinction for Maternity Care, a designation under the Blue Distinction® Specialty Care Program.
The Blue Distinction Specialty Care Program is given to organizations that demonstrate quality care, treatment expertise and better overall patient results in certain specialties. Cayuga Medical Center’s Blue Distinction for Maternity Care demonstrates the expertise and commitment to quality care for vaginal and cesarean section deliveries.
“I am deeply humbled by the expertise, dedication, and compassion demonstrated by our entire team,” says Brenda Lange, MSN, RN, Director of Maternal Child Health, Cayuga Medical Center. “Their constant commitment to going above and beyond ensures that our patients receive the highest standard of safe, quality care.”
Organizations with the Blue Distinction for Maternal Care have lower episiotomies, fewer elective deliveries and lower cesarean births.

Since 2006, the Blue Distinction Specialty Care Program has helped patients find quality care in a number of specialties. For more information about the program, visit www.bcbs.com/bluedistinction.
what our patients are saying
“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 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 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!!”
