Cayuga Health is proposing to consolidate hematology and oncology services currently provided at East Campus to Cayuga Park, effective December 31, 2026. The proposed consolidation is subject to review and approval by the New York State Department of Health.
Services are not being eliminated.
No positions will be eliminated.
The consolidation would bring hematology and oncology experts together with an on-site lab, pharmacists, clinical research, imaging, nurse navigators, second opinion clinic, and other support services, allowing for more centralized and coordinated patient care. Services will also continue to be provided in Cortland, and at Cayuga Medical Center and Schuyler Hospital.
Thank you to those who joined us and shared feedback during the public meeting on October 5, 2026. Your feedback has been shared with the New York State Department of Health.
