Guthrie is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to work with the communities we serve to help each person attain optimal, lifelong health and well-being. We will provide integrated, clinically-advanced services that prevent, diagnose, and treat disease within an environment of compassion, learning, and discovery.
Our community roots will always ground Guthrie. When Dr. Guthrie came to Sayre in 1910, meeting the healthcare needs of the communities we serve was the cornerstone of his mission. Under the guidance of Dr. Guthrie and in line with this mission, in 1944, Dr. Guthrie established the Guthrie Foundation. Since its inception, the Foundation has grown and evolved; however, it still maintains a similar vision to improve patients' lives within the Twin Tiers community through the initiation of meaningful quality programs.
Collaboration is vital to ensure the success of our efforts. That is why we partner with other non-profit organizations to benefit endeavors promoting health and healing.
Guthrie has grown in size and capability in the last century and now serves as a major regional referral center where more than 1,600 physicians send their patients. In 1977, Guthrie opened its first regional office in Troy, Pa. Today Guthrie has 32 regional offices throughout the region to provide primary care and outreach specialty care and testing to its patients close to where they live.
In addition to its longstanding relationship with Robert Packer Hospital, Guthrie acquired Troy Community Hospital in 1985, Corning Hospital in 1999, Towanda Memorial Hospital in 2015, and Cortland Medical Center in 2019.
Today, one of the longest-established group practices in the country, Guthrie has more than 365 primary and specialty care physicians and 300 advanced practice providers and has more than 1,000,000 patient visits each year in 22 communities in Pennsylvania and New York. Guthrie’s commitment to its core values of patient-centeredness, teamwork, and excellence—the defining values upon which Guthrie Clinic was founded—remains robust and unchanging.
Located on the Pennsylvania and New York border, Sayre is part of the larger community known as the Penn-York Valley or simply "The Valley." The other communities comprise Athens, PA, South Waverly, PA, and Waverly, NY. The combined population of these communities is 35,000. The Valley offers scenic countryside and rural living with easy access to larger areas such as Corning, NY, Ithaca, NY, and Binghamton, NY. I-86 is only minutes away and offers a direct route to Elmira and Binghamton, NY airports.
