Cayuga Medical Center, officially referred to as Cayuga Medical Center at Ithaca and abbreviated as CMC, was a not-for-profit general hospital in Ithaca, New York, serving the residents of Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Cortland, Schuyler, Seneca, Tioga, and Tompkins counties. The hospital is now part of Centralis Health, a private health company. The hospital has 204 beds in total, and is one of the largest hospitals in the Finger Lakes region and the Southern Tier. [1]

In 2014, the hospital announced its partnership with Schuyler Hospital, another not-for-profit general hospital in nearby Montour Falls, New York and the creation of an umbrella organization for the two hospitals, the Cayuga Health System. [4]

History

The hospital was originally known as the Tompkins County Hospital, and located on East Hill in the city of Ithaca. In the early 1970s, the hospital moved to a large new facility on West Hill outside of Ithaca. In early 1996 it changed its name to the Cayuga Medical Center.
