Board of Directors Appoints Ithaca Physician as Next President & CEO
The Cayuga Health System has been building an integrated program of musculoskeletal care for several years. More than a decade ago, we could see our region’s population of older adults was growing, and we began anticipating their future health care needs. Many of these residents have active lives, but as most of us discover, our bodies change with time. To continue enjoying a lifetime of healthy activities, some of us will need sophisticated orthopedic care. Treating the complex injuries affecting bones and joints takes a team of experts with years of specialty experience.
Friday, April 6, 2018, Cortland, New York- Family Health Network of Central New York, Inc. and Cayuga Medical Center, along with their community boards of directors, announced today they are uniting to advance clinical care throughout the Region. Both organizations will continue to operate independently and engage in other projects with Regional Partners, but will collaborate on clinical services, regional planning, and community outreach.
Providing residents with high level medical care in their communities is a key mission for the Cayuga Health System. The mission enhances the health of our region, and it has transformed health care in our service areas especially Cortland County where we have been improving health services for residents for two decades.
Traditionally, hospitals have diagnosed disease and treated the sick and injured. That’s a role the Cayuga Heath System hospitals of Cayuga Medical Center and Schuyler Hospital provide with highly trained physicians, nurses, and sophisticated medical technology. But, we need to ensure that we support the health of our community members, and wellness care is our health system’s newest role.
