Centralus Health is proud to announce significant patient safety milestones across its system, with both Arnot Health and Cayuga Health reaching remarkable benchmarks in infection prevention and quality care.
Cayuga Medical Center has achieved 1,500 consecutive days with a Central-Line Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI) — an extraordinary milestone that builds on its previously recognized 1,000-day achievement, reflecting a sustained commitment to best-in-class infection prevention practices. A CLABSI is one of the most serious healthcare-associated infections, with the potential to cause life-threatening complications such as sepsis, making long-term prevention a critical indicator of patient safety and clinical excellence.
Arnot Ogden Medical Center has also reached an important milestone, achieving 450 consecutive days with a Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI). CAUTIs are among the most common, and most preventable, hospital-acquired infections, and reducing these events helps minimize complications, shorten hospital stays, and improve overall patient outcomes.
“These achievements reflect the dedication and vigilance of our care teams across Centralus Health,” said Angela Murray, Senior Director of Quality Outcomes and Chief Quality Officer for Centralus Health. “Reaching 1,500 days CLABSI-free and 450 days CAUTI-free is an incredible accomplishment, and a powerful example of what is possible when we prioritize safety, collaboration, and continuous improvement to protect our patients from preventable harm.”
what our patients are saying
“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!!”
“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 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. “
