Cayuga Medical Center at Ithaca

Maguire Subaru of Ithaca recently donated blankets to the Cayuga Medical Center Foundation for patients undergoing cancer treatments. The donation is part of a partnership between Subaru and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) as part of the Subaru Loves to Care Event. Since 2016, LLS and Subaru have supported cancer patients and their families with free resources such as blankets. Blankets not only provide emotional comfort for patients undergoing treatment, but also can manage physical effects as well. Often, chemotherapy can cause side effects that make patients feel cold. The cancer care kits, provided by the CMC Foundation, will also include self-care items not covered by insurance, such as soap, moisturizer, lip balm, and lotion.

Cayuga Health had Rachel Dufrense speak on her role as an RN Risk Analyst during her staff feature for Health Care RiskManagement Week. Making sure staff are safe and prepared helps ensure our patients are safe too. Being able to talk through issues helps all parties be risk aware, and find solutions.

In one of today's videos celebrating Health Care Risk Management Week, Micah Notarpole speaks on how the active feedback from patients and visitors helps drive patient centered care.

Today, for Health Care Risk Management Week, Risk Analyst Abby Reich speaks on the importance of Safety Rounds. Finding areas of opportunity to improve in helps redefine "Risk" as a positive word.

Throughout Health Care Risk Management Week, we are highlighting members of our Risk Team. Program Manager Rob Longenberger speaks on the importance of keeping people safe- not just our patients but the community that we work with and along side of. Recognizing the hard work of our employees and the multi-team collaboration needed is something he is proud to be apart of.
