“We were absolutely delighted by the high quality and quantity of all of the nominees for this year’s awards,” said Tompkins Chamber President Jean McPheeters. “In the end, these two organizations were at the top of the Awards Committee’s rankings.”

“This is a tremendous honor for the Cancer Resource Center,” said Dr. David Cho, Board President of the CRCFL, “especially during the year we are celebrating our 15th anniversary of providing direct support and services to people with cancer in our community.  On behalf of our entire staff and volunteers whose enthusiasm, spirit, and drive inspire us even more, we are pleased to be recognized for the important work of the Center.  Most importantly, we must pay tribute to all cancer survivors: to those who have courageously lost their lives to the disease; and to family and friends who have offered compassion and support to their loved ones.”

Cayuga Medical Center at Ithaca is the recipient of the Large Employer of the Year Award, and Dr. Rob Mackenzie said in a statement “On behalf of our employees, physicians and volunteers, I’d like to thank the Chamber for recognizing our organization as the Large Employer of the Year.  We are very honored to receive this award and will continue to focus our energies on making Cayuga Medical Center the best place to give care and best place to get care.”
