Offers cardiology, other medical services in new location
LANSING — Cayuga Health has a new location at The Shops at Ithaca Mall with many of the health-care services already in operation.
The organization’s cardiology service started operations in the new location on March 25. Formerly located in two separate facilities on Triphammer Road and at Island Health and Fitness in downtown Ithaca, those two locations of Cayuga Heart and Vascular are now together at one site, per a late March Cayuga Health announcement.
Besides the cardiology service, Cayuga Primary Care (formerly located at Brentwood Drive and Trumansburg Road) and Cayuga Rheumatology (formerly located at Community Corners) opened on April 8.
The health-care system also plans to open a medical laboratory in the new space this June, Cayuga Health tells CNYBJ in an April 30 email.
The staggered implementation sought to “help minimize disruption” in providing patient care, Cayuga Health said in its March announcement.
“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, VP of ambulatory services and COO at Cayuga Medical Associates, contended. “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 (Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit, Inc.) bus stop is located just outside the doors of Cayuga Health at Ithaca Mall, “allowing greater access for many patients.,” per the announcement.
The Shops at Ithaca Mall location also has ample parking, wheelchair accessibility, an onsite laboratory, and easy-to-use kiosks for appointment check-in, Cayuga Health 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.”
