The Schuyler Hospital Auxiliary recently announced an $18,000 donation to Schuyler Hospital, in addition to other smaller donations throughout the year.
The funds are being used for a new anesthesia machine for the Operating Room, and a bench for families and visitors outside the Hospital’s Main Entrance.
The Auxiliary raises funds for needs at the Hospital and Seneca View Skilled Nursing Facility throughout the year with a variety of events, including the Festival of Lights, book and uniform sales, jewelry sales, and a Pasta Dinner sponsored by the Watkins Glen-Montour Falls Lions Club and the Montour Moose Lodge. Auxilians also co-sponsor the hospital’s largest fundraiser, November Splendor, operate the Gift Shop, and are the friendly faces at the Information Desk inside the Hospital’s Main Entrance.
In addition, the Auxiliary donates to the hospital’s Chaplaincy Fund, assists employees in need through the hospital’s holiday “Schuyler Santa” program, and funds (3) $1000 scholarships for (2) students and (1) employee furthering their healthcare education.

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. “
“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 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!!”
