Executive Summary Priorities and Disparities Continuing with the Prevention Agenda choices made in 2013, Tompkins County is focusing on Preventing Chronic Disease, and Promoting Mental Health and Preventing Substance Abuse as its two Prevention Agenda priorities for 2016–2018. With populations and key employers located in and just outside the City and Town of Ithaca garnering so much of the county focus, we recognize that deliberate attention must be paid to the rural populations due to their high potential for isolation from services. Thus, the rural population has been identified as our primary disparity group. In addition, health improvement initiatives will be targeting communities of color within the City of Ithaca, and more broadly, individuals who are of low socio-economic status (SES). Changes since 2013 Focus areas, goals, and objectives within the priority to Prevent Chronic Disease remain largely unchanged from those established in 2013: diabetes prevention, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma action education, and tobacco use.

  • CHA 2019-2024 CHIP 2019-2021 Tompkins County NY
    Tompkins County Health Department Community Health Assessment 2019–2024 Summary of Assets and Resources Tompkins County is a resourceful community, characterized by its commitment to seeking solutions to social needs and inequities. Residents also work to enhance and build on existing resources in the environment and community infrastructure to address health issues. Local government and agencies are committed to diversity and inclusion in the work force and in program implementation. While individuals might say that certain of these efforts are insufficient, misdirected, or disingenuous, historically the community continues to look for the best path to equity. The cultural and artistic landscape offers a wide range of opportunities for participation and enjoyment in music, theater, art, dance, and intellectual programming. Seasonal community markets, festivals, and celebrations promote the diversity of cultures, local agencies, local artists and music, and local food and agriculture. The Ithaca Farmers Market is a centerpiece for local food and fresh produce; other municipalities have their own farmers markets, or are affiliated with the Ithaca market. The County is rich in geographical diversity, known for its gorges and numerous hiking trails that provide a range of opportunities for physical activity. The website IthacaTrails.org lists over 70 different trails, which can be searched by activity, difficulty, and ecology. Some are connected with one of the three State Parks within the county, and the others are stewarded by any one of well-over a dozen different municipalities and nonprofits. One showcase is the Cayuga Waterfront Trail, a multi-phase collaboration between the City of Ithaca and the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce.

  • Caring for Our Community at Its Core, Health Care Is About Local Resources and Local People
    Caring for our Community At its core, health care is about local resources and local people. This concept is essential to the mission of Cayuga Medical Center: to deliver the highest quality health care in partnership our community, one person at a time. Moreover, Cayuga Medical Center is invested in improving the health of our community. By working with its board of directors, community leaders, county representatives—including the local health department, non-profit organizations, educational institutions and many others, Cayuga Medical Center identifies the health needs of our community and the best solutions to address those needs in a triennial Community Health Needs Assessment. This collective assessment generates health improvement actions, which are documented in our Community Service Plan, and are considered community benefit because of the effort Cayuga Medical Center gives to improve the community’s health or helps to improve access to health care without seeking financial gain for these actions. Cayuga Medical Center follows the guidance of federal revenue agencies and other authorities to ensure that one of the following objectives are met when defining community benefit activities: • Responds to documented community health issues or health needs of special populations including those in economically disadvantaged situations, mental or physical disabilities, or other persons with special needs. • Improves access to health services • Enhances the health of the community • Advances medical or health care knowledge • Relieves or reduces the burden of government or other community effort The following pages catalog the community benefit activities Cayuga Medical Center undertook in 2015 as part of the Community Service Plan developed through the 2013 Community Health Needs Assessment.
