LANSING, N.Y. — Cayuga Health plans to move some of its services to a new location at the The Shops at Ithaca Mall.
The organization’s cardiology service will begin operations in the new location on March 25. Formerly located in two separate facilities on Triphammer Road and Island Health and Fitness in downtown Ithaca, Cayuga Heart and Vascular is now together in one location, per its Thursday announcement.
Cayuga Health will further expand services in the facility in the following weeks, it said.
The staggered implementation will “help minimize disruption” in providing patient care. Cayuga Primary Care (formerly located at Brentwood Drive and Trumansburg Road) and Cayuga Rheumatology (formerly located at Community Corners) will open on April 8.
“As we open the doors of our latest facility at the Ithaca Mall, we’re not just providing care, we’re creating a new standard of accessibility and excellence,” Jeff Penoyer, vice president of ambulatory services and COO of Cayuga Medical Associates, said in the announcement. “This milestone marks a pivotal moment in Cayuga Health’s journey, symbolizing our unwavering commitment to serving our community with top-notch healthcare services.”
The more than 60,000–square–foot space will house an increased number of exam rooms with updated equipment. A TCAT bus stop is located just outside the doors of Cayuga Health at Ithaca Mall, “allowing greater access for many patients.”
The location also has ample parking, wheelchair accessibility, an onsite laboratory, and easy-to-use kiosks for appointment check-in, the health-care provider noted.
Penoyer went on to say, “By consolidating these specialties under one roof, we’re not only simplifying the patient experience but also fostering stronger connections between our providers and those we serve. We’re thrilled to welcome our community to this dynamic space.”
