In 2014, the hospital announced its partnership with Schuyler Hospital, another not-for-profit general hospital in nearby Montour Falls, New York and the creation of an umbrella organization for the two hospitals, the Cayuga Health System.^[4]

The hospital was originally known as the Tompkins Community Hospital, and located on East Hill in Ithaca. In the early 1970s, the hospital moved to a large new facility on West Hill. In early 1996 it changed its name to the Cayuga Medical Center.
