Keeping your medical appointments is the best overall health care strategy in the COVID-19 pandemic

COVID-19 precautions and quarantine efforts have raised concerns for some patients about coming to a doctor’s office or a hospital but putting your health care needs on hold can worsen many conditions and end up increasing the risk of contracting the virus.
Maintaining good health is among the best defenses a patient has for reducing the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19. Regular checkups, immunizations and periodic medical tests are essential to protect your health. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 infections, Cayuga Health System and the practices in the Cayuga Health Partners network began a series of improvements when the virus first appeared in our community in March. New protocols and technology at these medical offices, Cayuga Medical Center and Schuyler Hospital make for a safer environment than patients will likely find in any other setting.
