“Like most Americans, my family and I have watched the horrific events in our nation over the past two weeks that are incredibly unsettling and disturbing. As a nation, already drained from months of fighting COVID-19, we have now witnessed the tragic murder of George Floyd.

We stand with the vast majority of people throughout our country and the world in condemning the egregious police brutality in Minneapolis, and we sincerely hope that it can serve as a catalyst for substantive change and reform in our nation, state, and community.

Every member of the Cayuga Health team has been touched by this tragedy – more than 2,200 employees, along with our family, friends, and neighbors. As one of the largest employers in our community, Cayuga Health is committed to fostering a diverse culture of inclusion.

As healers, we cannot watch the murder of George Floyd and the violence that has erupted during otherwise peaceful protests without deep sadness and anger. However, having seen the impacts of systemic racial and social injustices for decades, these recent events sharpen our resolve to steadfastly demand justice, truth, change, and dignity for all.

The Cayuga Health System is committed to mirroring the change we seek in society. We raise our voice with so many other organizations and individuals throughout the nation to demand dramatic action and reform from a divisive past to a transformational future.”

Martin Stallone
CEO of Cayuga Health

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.”

“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!!”

“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. “
