MONTOUR FALLS –– At their annual spring luncheon, the Schuyler Hospital Auxiliary named two of their members as Volunteers of the Year.
Members over age 90 were also recognized as Lifetime Members.
Clara Greis and Marie Decker were named Volunteers of the Year – Greis as a former Auxiliary President who seems to step up to do whatever is needed, and has long chaired the Auxiliary’s pasta dinner fundraiser. Decker, a former hospital employee, shows her dedication in serving countless hours in the Auxiliary Gift Shop. Decker was actually working in the Gift Shop when Auxiliary President, Anne Myers, told her to close up shop and come the luncheon – to surprise Decker with the award.
Also recognized were members over age 90, who were given the “Lifetime Member” distinction, including: Jean Argetsinger, Mary Berry, Shirley Craver, Virginia Eaton, Clara Hoover, Helen James, Janeth Richards, and Joan Ward. Over age 100 is Marion Roberts.

what our patients are saying
“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. “
“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!!”
