Cortland Regional Medical Center's Three-Year Community Service Plan

Cortland Regional Medical Center's
Community Service Plan for 2009–2011 is now posted on the CRMC web site.

All New York State hospitals are required to produce a Comprehensive Community Service Plan every three years. "In April, 2008, New York State Commissioner of Health, Richard Daines, MD, launched the 'Prevention Agenda for the Healthiest State,' establishing priorities to improve the health of all New Yorkers. Commissioner Daines has enlisted hospitals and local health departments to engage in collaborative efforts to address these priorities. Cortland Regional Medical Center's Community Service Plan describes the Medical Center's participation with community partners to assess community needs and sets forth Prevention Agenda Public Health Priorities for the local community, which have been established in response to a community needs assessment and in consultation with the Cortland County Health Department. The information contained in this report is intended to inform the community about the process undertaken to identify and prioritize the community's healthcare needs and the plans Cortland Regional Medical Center has developed to address the most urgent needs."

Copies of the plan are also available at local public libraries and in CRMC's in-house library. Summaries will be available through Seven Valleys Health Coalition and at locations within the Medical Center. CRMC invites public comment on this report, as well as on the organization, its services, and community involvement. Comments and inquiries can be submitted to:
