Cayuga Health formally opens new physical-therapy location in downtown Cortland

CORTLAND, N.Y. — Cayuga Health on Wednesday formally opened a new Cayuga Physical Therapy (PT) facility at 2 North Main Street in downtown Cortland.

The new 2,000-square-foot office replaces the previous PT facility that was located on Commons Avenue.

Officials from the Cortland Area Chamber of Commerce and the Cortland County Legislature joined Cayuga Health for the ribbon-cutting event. Cayuga Health is headquartered in Ithaca.

“Our physical therapists provide convenient appointments each weekday and our new space adds a calming natural light, a comfortable waiting room and a relaxing environment,” Brian Lee, director of Cayuga Physical Therapy, said in a release. “Our program offers patients seamless rehabilitation and physical therapy following their care from Cayuga Medical Associates’ orthopedics, sports medicine, and primary care providers.”

Patients seeking to improve their fitness after physical therapy can also be referred to Vine Health and Fitness in the adjacent suite on Main Street, Cayuga Health noted.

“Investing in our community continues to be a primary focus for Cayuga Health and the opening of a larger physical therapy facility, in the heart of Cortland’s downtown, supports our dedication and commitment to Cortland County,” stated Dr. Martin Stallone, president & CEO of Cayuga Health. “Our sports medicine physicians and trainers have already been providing clinical care for athletic teams at Cortland public schools and SUNY Cortland.”

With the addition of the Cayuga Physical Therapy program on Main Street, Cayuga Health now has eight total locations for primary and specialized care in Cortland and Homer, Cayuga Health said.

“Our residents now have dozens of advanced health-care choices delivered in Cortland County,” Bob Haight, president and CEO of the Cortland Area Chamber of Commerce, said. “I want to thank Cayuga Health, and our other healthcare partners in the community, for investing in community healthcare in Cortland. We are beyond grateful for today’s announcement and future expansions planned in Cortland County by Cayuga Health.”
