About

Schuyler Emergency Medical Services (SEMS), a trusted and vital part of the community, is now operating under a new name: Centralus Health EMS.

Founded in 2023 through a contract between Cayuga Health and Schuyler County, the EMS service provides 24/7 emergency medical response for the Schuyler County area. The service plays a critical role in providing pre-hospital care, safely transporting patients to appropriate facilities, and responding to emergencies in both rural and residential communities.

The change aligns with ongoing efforts to unify services and strengthen access to care across the Centralus Health network. By bringing together the capabilities and resources of Arnot Health and Cayuga Health, Centralus Health is building a more integrated, patient-centered system while continuing to serve each local community with compassion and expertise.

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!!”
