Community Health System 2020 Commission

The purpose of the 2020 Commission is to formulate recommendations to the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) to guide its decisions related to major health care investments and actions in the Finger Lakes region.  

As a basis for its recommendations, the Commission will establish a framework that describes the next generation of health care delivery in the northern Finger Lakes region (Livingston, Monroe , Ontario , Seneca, Wayne and Yates counties).  

The centerpiece of this framework will be hospital-based resources, however,
 related elements of the care delivery system will also be considered, among them:

1.     medical manpower, including physician training and practice preferences;

2.     consumer preferences, including choice of providers;

3.     ambulatory services;

4.     medical technology;

5.     rural/urban issues in a regional health care system, and

6.     financing including reimbursement and Graduate Medical Education.
