Please join us to celebrate the life of Bonnie Howell on Saturday, May 16th at 2 PM in the Cayuga Medical Center Main Lobby
Bonnie Howard Howell joined the staff of Tompkins County Hospital in 1965, working part-time during the school year. She later devoted her entire career to improving healthcare. In 1974 Bonnie became assistant administrator and in 1979 she became the administrator of Tompkins County Hospital, one of the youngest hospital administrators in the nation, and one of a small number of women to hold that title. She facilitated the hospital becoming Cayuga Medical Center and served as its president and CEO until 2002.
A Celebration of Life for Bonnie Howard Howell will take place at Cayuga Medical Center’s main lobby on Saturday May 16 at 2pm.
CMC’s lead chaplain Rev. Tim Dean will officiate. Her family has selected readings and music that were important to Bonnie, and have invited several speakers to represent significant elements of Bonnie’s personal and professional life.
A light reception will follow the service.
If you have questions about this gathering, or if you are a current or former CMC employee interested in serving as a hospitality volunteer, please contact Rev. Tim Dean at tdean@cayugamed.org

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 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.
