About

At Cayuga Health, we know that one of the most important community services we deliver is expert, compassionate care for people who are experiencing medical emergencies. We provide the only 24-hour emergency care in Tompkins and Schuyler Counties and we see more than 40,000 patients a year in our Emergency Departments.

Our experienced staff of physicians, registered nurses, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners take care of adult and pediatric emergency patients. We work closely with local ambulance crews to ensure the finest pre-hospital care possible. Special-use spaces for trauma and decontamination, psychiatric evaluation and care, and treatment of sexual assault victims also enhance our abilities to meet the needs of the patients and families we serve.

Working collaboratively with the local County Offices of Emergency Response, we play a key role in our community’s emergency medical preparedness and response to bioterrorism and homeland security issues.

what our patients are saying

“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!!”

“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!”
