Bassett Healthcare Network provides services to people living in a 5,600 square mile region of Central New York, roughly the size of the state of Connecticut. The organization includes five hospitals, over two dozen community-based health centers, more than 20 school-based health centers, two skilled nursing facilities, and other health partners in related fields. It will celebrate its 101st anniversary in 2023.

❱ Telemedicine Expands Access to WorldClass Healthcare in Central New York — Advances in digital medicine continue to expand Bassett’s capacity to provide rural residents with high-quality health care. By enhancing its telemedicine infrastructure, patients across the region are increasingly connected to primary care, specialty care and mental health practitioners without the need for travel.

❱ Thirty Years of Service — Bassett Healthcare Network celebrated the 30th anniversary of its school-based health centers (SBHC). The first site opened in 1992 at the Delaware Academy Central School in Delhi, marking the first collaboration be- tween Bassett and a school district. Since then, SBHC has expanded to 21 sites in 17 school districts across four counties. The SBHC enrollment has typically been between 80% and 92% of the total school population. The Delhi SBHC alone has between 2,000 and 2,500 visits per year. Bassett’s School-Based Health Centers program is now the largest rural school-based health program in New York State.

❱ School-Based Health Centers and Telemedicine — “Bassett’s ongoing expansion of its telemedicine services across our rural area have made a tremendous and positive impact on our ability to serve regional students during the COVID-19 pandemic,” says nurse Jane Hamilton, school-based health practice manager. “Now telemedicine is an essential complement to in-person SBHC services. Students utilize video visits to access a variety of pediatric specialties.”

❱ Serving New York State’s Agricultural Communities — The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) is a program of Bassett Healthcare Network dedicated to enhancing agricultural and rural health by preventing and treating occupational injury and illness. NYCAMH provides research, outreach, education, and clinical consultation services by a professional staff including epidemiologists, biostatisticians, social workers, information specialists, occupational health nurses, educators, physicians, bilingual safety specialists, and support staff. The NYCAMH team often works one-on-one with farmers to help them through difficulties.

❱ State-of-the-Art Minimally Invasive Robotic Gastric Bypass Surgery Comes to Bassett Medical Center — It is a hallmark of Bassett’s care to strive to provide rural patients with the best advanced options available in large urban areas. Joon Shim, senior attending physician in general surgery, is an expert in minimally invasive and trauma surgery. In 2022, he successfully completed the first robotic assisted gastric bypass surgery at Bassett. Bassett now provides its patients with this technologically advanced minimally invasive surgery, resulting in faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and shorter hospital stays. Bassett’s bariatric surgery team has received quality recognition for patient safety and better outcomes, including the Blue Distinction Center+ for Bariatric Surgery by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, and accreditation by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program.

Cayuga Medical Center (CMC), a member of Cayuga Health, has been designated a 2022-2023 Best Maternity Hospital by U.S. News & World Report. CMC is one of only nine New York state hospitals to receive this distinction. This is the highest award a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals for Maternity Care. The annual evaluation is designed to assist expectant parents and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive maternity care. Cayuga Medical Center earned a High Performing designation in recognition of maternity care as measured by factors such as newborn complication rates. “This recognition is a testament to the committed members of our Cayuga Birthplace team at CMC and all who support them” said physician Martin Stallone, chief executive officer of Cayuga Health. “We believe that every patient should have convenient access to safe, compassionate maternity care, at every stage of pregnancy. We are honored to provide such a high-quality service for new mothers in Tompkins, Cortland, and Schuyler counties.”

❱ Cayuga Health in 2022 purchased 108,000 square feet of space at The Shops at Ithaca Mall where they are planning to redevelop, relocate and consolidate ex- isting practices into one location, making access more convenient for patients. CH plans to lease some of the space to prospective new vendors. The property, located at 40 Catherwood Road, near state Route 13, was purchased from an ownership group that includes Mason Asset Management and Namdar Realty Group, two Long Island-based real estate investment companies that oversee leasing and management efforts at the mall. Cayuga Health has acquired the former big box retail parcels where The Bon Ton and Sears once stood for $8.5 Million.

❱ “We see this capital expansion as a necessary next step in our strategic plan as we continue to reimagine our operations by making health care more accessible to everyone in the communities we serve,” said physician Martin Stallone, president and CEO of Cayuga Health. “This acquisition allows us to consolidate existing practices into one location for efficiency and improved patient access. We have been operating at The Shops at Ithaca Mall since the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic and it has been proven to be a valuable location within the community and for our health system.” Cayuga Health has been occupying the retail space since March 2020 where they identified the facility as an ideal location for critical COVID-19 operations.

❱ Cayuga Medical Center earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval and the American Stroke Association’s HeartCheck mark for Advanced Primary Stroke Center Certification. CMC underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite review in September 2022. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with related certification standards. Joint Commission standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. The reviewers also conducted onsite observations and interviews.

❱ Cayuga Health named Herb Alexander as chief diversity officer, a newly created position, to enhance diversity programs and create a more inclusive culture for their health care organization that reflects the communities they serve. Alexander most recently was chief diversity officer and associate dean of students for Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester. He holds a Master of Science in strategic (business) leadership and a Bachelor of Arts in history from Roberts Wesleyan College. He started on the position Aug 2.

❱ Cayuga Health named Melissa Tourtellotte its new vice president of marketing and communications. In this role Tourtellotte will oversee brand equity and de- velopment, internal and external PR and marketing communications, and philanthropic initiatives across the organization. Tourtellotte joined Cayuga Health with over 10-years of experience leading rural health system marketing, communications, and recruitment teams. Previously, she was the director of strategic marketing and communications for The Guthrie Clinic and marketing director at Bassett Healthcare Network in Cooperstown. Most recently she held the role of senior director of physician recruitment for Guthrie Medical Group in Sayre, Pennsylvania. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hamilton College and a Master of Science degree in marketing from Walden University. She is the past public image chairwoman for Rotary District 7170 and volunteers as the secretary for the Charles H. Bassett Youth Foundation in Owego.

Crouse Health and SUNY Upstate Medical University jointly announced in April 2022 their intention to bring the two healthcare systems together to enhance care delivery to Central New Yorkers. Under the proposed combination, Upstate Medical University

You want a health care provider you can connect with. You need a provider who is connected. You have both with Guthrie.

Our compassionate providers know you and your health needs. They get to know you and connect with you as a person.

And as part of Guthrie, they are connected to a network of more than 650 primary care and specialty providers with the knowledge and skills to provide high-quality care for even the most complex conditions.

Our electronic medical record connects your care team, and you, for seamless care no matter where you are.

From routine care to specialized treatments, Guthrie is here for you and your family.

Make your connection with Guthrie today. www.Guthrie.org will acquire the operations of Crouse Hospital, which will become part of the Upstate Medical University Health System.

The proposed combination will include all of Crouse Hospitals’ inpatient and outpatient services. Crouse Hospital will become part of Upstate University Hospital and the Crouse campus will be branded as Upstate Crouse Hospital. Crouse Medical Practice will remain intact and will be branded as Upstate Crouse Medical Practice.

Upstate and Crouse believe that the combined organization would generate new career opportunities in the region. No staff reductions are anticipated as a result of the transaction. It is anticipated that union employees at each hospital will continue to be represented by their current respective unions.

By coming together, Upstate and Crouse propose to create a coordinated, highly integrated system with the objective of improving quality of care and increasing access to care for the communities we serve. The combination will create a system with more than 13,000 employees, 1,200 licensed inpatient hospital beds and offer more than 70 specialties. It will markedly increase clinical training opportunities for tomorrow’s healthcare providers studying in the College of Medicine, College of Health Professions and two complementary schools of nursing.

Over the years, Crouse and Upstate leadership have engaged in thoughtful review of potential options for the institutions to more closely align in ways that improve care for the community and region, while preserving each organization’s clinical and educational missions. Upstate Medical University (including Upstate University Hospital) and Crouse Health have a history of collaborating, to the extent feasible, to serve the Central New York region. During the pandemic, Upstate and Crouse worked collaboratively to meet the challenges created by COVID-19.

The proposed merger was still pending early in 2023.

❱ Crouse Hospital received a ‘B’ safety score for fall 2022 from The Leapfrog Group, a national distinction recognizing the hospital’s achievements in protecting patients from harm and providing safer healthcare. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only rating focused exclusively on hospital safety. Its A, B, C, D or F letter grades for more than 3,000 hospitals across the country are a quick way for consumers to choose the safest hospital to seek care.

Grades are based on over 30 performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm.

The grading system is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring. With a safety grade of B, Crouse’s fall 2022 score is the highest in Central New York.

“Our mission of providing the best in patient care continues to guide our ongoing quality improvement and patient experience efforts,” said Crouse Chief Medical Officer and Seth Kronenberg. “We congratulate our team for this achievement, which reflects not only their strong clinical performance, but also their commitment to excellence in patient outcomes, made especially challenging during the COVID pandemic.”

❱ Crouse Health in 2022 became the only hospital in Central New York to acquire the innovative da Vinci SP (single port) system, which provides surgeons with robotic-assisted technology designed for access to tissue in the body with greater precision and enhanced mobility.

The da Vinci SP’s innovative design enables single port placement and optimal internal and external range of motion (e.g., 360-degrees of anatomical access and rotation) through the single SP arm. Surgeons control the fully articulating instruments and the camera on the SP system.

The SP platform allows surgeons to get inside the body in a very delicate way to perform minimally invasive surgeries that solve problems ranging from reconstructive to cancer surgery.

Currently, the new robotic system is being used for prostatectomy procedures.

Since its inception in 2008, Crouse Health’s robotic surgery program has grown to become the region’s largest multispecialty robotic surgery program, performing more than 1,900 procedures in 2021. With seven surgical robots and 25 surgical specialists supporting the program, specialty areas include general surgery; bariatric; colorectal; GYN oncology; gynecology; thoracic and urology.

❱ Crouse Health has been designated an Aetna Institute of Quality Bariatric Surgery Facility for treating individuals living with morbid, or extreme, obesity. Facilities are selected for consistently delivering evidence-based, safe care.

“We are proud of our bariatric surgery program’s reputation throughout the region for excellence in weight-loss surgery,” says Seth Kronenberg, chief operating officer and chief medical officer. “This designation reflects the talent and expertise of our Crouse bariatric surgeons and clinical team and their focus on providing the best in care and outcomes for our bariatric patients.”

Aetna makes information about the quality and cost of health care services available to its members to help them make informed decisions about their health care needs. In line with this goal, Aetna recognizes hospitals and facilities in its network that offer specialized clinical services for certain health conditions.

❱ Crouse Health has received the American Heart/Stroke Association’s GoldPlus Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability.

Crouse was the only area hospital in 2022 to receive this award at this level.

❱ Crouse Health has received the American Heart Association’s Gold Plus Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Quality Achievement Award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines.

For the first time, Crouse has also received the Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll award. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet quality measures developed with more than 90% of compliance for 12 consecutive months for the “overall diabetes cardiovascular initiative composite score.”

“Almost 30 percent of our patients have diabetes and we have taken up the challenge of maximizing their diabetes care while they are here. We believe this will increase the likelihood of positive medical outcomes and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications,” said Chief and Chief Medical Officer Seth Kronenberg.

Geneva General Hospital the summer 2022 announced it received the American Heart Association’s Gold Plus Get With The Guidelines – Stroke quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability.

Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest evidence- and research-based guidelines. Get With The Guidelines – Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death.

“Geneva General Hospital is committed to improving patient care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Ardelle Bigos, chief nursing officer. “Get With The Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which studies show can help patients recover better. The end goal is to ensure more people in our region can experience longer, healthier lives.”

Geneva General Hospital also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Stroke Honor Roll award. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet specific criteria that reduces the time between an eligible patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster alteplase.

Geneva General Hospital also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll award. Target: Type 2 Diabetes aims to ensure patients with Type 2 diabetes, who might be at higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized due to stroke.

❱ Geneva General Hospital received American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline STEMI Referring Center Silver recognition for its commitment to ensuring science-based treatment for all people experiencing a specific type of heart attack known as an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), known to be more severe and dangerous than other types of heart attacks.

❱ Geneva General Hospital’s Women’s Health Services in 2022 was awarded a three-year term of accreditation in stereotactic breast biopsy as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

A breast biopsy is performed to remove cells — either surgically or through a less invasive procedure involving a hollow needle — from an area in the breast suspected to be cancerous. These cells are examined under a microscope to determine a diagnosis. In stereotactic breast biopsy, a special mammography machine helps guide the radiologist’s instruments to the site of an abnormal growth.

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field.

Geneva General Hospital’s Women’s Health Services also recently underwent an FDA Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) inspection with excellent results for quality standards for mammography.

Its sister hospital, Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania, was rated as high performing for treatment of COPD, heart failure, stroke, hip replacement and kidney disease. U.S. News generates these ranking by evaluating data from nearly 5,000 hospitals to help patients decide where to receive care. To be nationally ranked in a specialty, a hospital must excel in caring for the sickest, most medically complex patients.

Scores in the various areas of care are based on data from multiple categories, including patient outcome or survival, volume of procedures, discharging patients to home, staffing and more. Hospitals that earned a high performing rating were significantly better than the national average

Guthrie Cortland Obstetrics and Gynecology is located at 141 Groton Ave. and offers a wide range of services including women’s health, gynecological procedures, maternity care, family planning, infertility, menopause, and contraceptive management. “The women in our community need to know there is a place they can go for health care focused on their specific needs,” said Marie Darling, senior director, Guthrie Cortland Medical Group. “With fewer local options now available, we saw a gap in health care in this community. Our new OB-GYN clinic doesn’t just fill that gap, it gives women the comfort of knowing the care they deserve is available, close to home.”
