Located at 40 Catherwood Road in Ithaca, the placement of the facility ensures seamless coordination for patients at the new medical practices. Now, patients can have lab work done before or after appointments, eliminating the need to travel to another location.

“The new laboratory services at Cayuga Health at the Ithaca Mall exemplify our commitment to patient convenience and integrated care,” said Cayuga Medical Associates’ Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Penoyer. “By offering lab work in the same location as our primary care, cardiology, and rheumatology services, we streamline the healthcare experience for our patients and enhance their access to timely medical attention.”

The Ithaca Mall location offers ample parking and is located on a bus route, providing increased accessibility for patients. The location is also a short drive from downtown Ithaca, Cayuga Medical Center, and other Cayuga Medical Associates practices. Having opened in March of 2024, the more than 60,000 square foot space consolidated several practices into one location, allowing for more collaboration among caregivers and improved accessibility for patients.
