At their Annual Community Meeting June 5th, Schuyler Hospital named Watkins Glen International their Community Partner of the Year.
The Community Partner Award is presented annually to an organization or individual in recognition for helping Schuyler Hospital achieve its mission.
Watkins Glen International (WGI) generously donates to raffle and auction packages for the Schuyler Health Foundation November Splendor fundraiser, as well as partner organization Cayuga Medical Center’s Foundation Gala.
WGI has written Letters of Support for grants and projects on the hospital’s behalf, and works closely with the hospital regarding emergency preparedness for large events.
The hospital has called upon WGI to host Employee Recognition Dinners and board meetings, as well as a past Foundation fundraiser.

Racetrack employees make up a perennial team in the hospital’s free community walking program, Schuyler Steps Out, and one employee recently was elected to the Schuyler Health Foundation Board.
Hospital employees volunteer with WGI for several events each summer, and in return WGI makes a donation to the Hospital.
Recently, the Cayuga Health System has started partnering with WGI for sponsorship opportunities, including a walking trail on their property and kid-friendly activities.
The 2015 award went to Arcangeli Farm, 2016 to the Schuyler Hospital Auxiliary, 2017 to Ken Wilson, and 2018 to Schuyler County Public Health.
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. “
“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.”
“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!”
