Beginning February 1, 2023, Family Medicine Associates of Ithaca will become part of Cayuga Medical Associates (CMA). The new practice, to be re-named Cayuga Primary Care Family Medicine, brings together two well-respected practices and expands quality care to the community.
Patients should experience minimal change, as the 209 W State Street and 8 Brentwood Drive locations and contact information for providers remain the same. Medical records will be transitioned to Cayuga Medical Associates unless patients request a records transfer.
“CMA is excited to work with all the amazing providers and the entire team joining us from Family Medicine Associates. They have a long-standing tradition of excellent, patient-centered, and collaborative care that we look forward to helping carry forward,” says Jeffrey Penoyer, Chief Operating Officer of Cayuga Medical Associates.
“Family Medicine Associates of Ithaca was born in the mid-1970s and has become synonymous with patient-centered health care in this region. We’re extremely proud of our reputation and commitment to our community, and in looking for a practice partner, we sought to align ourselves with an organization dedicated to carrying on our values. We believe CMA is that organization,” says Lloyd Darlow, MD, of Family Medicine Associates. “We are excited for the future, knowing that our new venture will continue the tradition of family-focused compassionate care to which we have devoted ourselves for nearly fifty years.”

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.”
“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!”
