A solidly-rated, in-city hospital

Cayuga Medical Center at Ithaca runs approximately 204-212 beds and carries a 4-star overall CMS rating, rated high-performing in hip replacement and uncomplicated-pregnancy maternity care.

A smaller facility than some regional peers

Cayuga Medical Center is genuinely smaller than the nationally-ranked regional anchors documented for some other New York Tier A markets in this project (e.g., Poughkeepsie's Vassar Brothers Medical Center) -- a real, disclosed scale distinction.
