Arnot Health's hospitals page says Arnot Ogden Medical Center in Elmira, founded in 1888, has specialty services for cardiovascular care, cancer care, women's health services and maternity, emergency medicine, and surgery. St. Joseph's Hospital was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Rochester with the citizens of Elmira and is part of Arnot Health. Elmira's comprehensive plan notes that the city once had identifiable neighborhoods with names like The Patch, Prospect Hill and Frog Hollow. It describes the southside, across the Chemung River from the core downtown business district, as predominantly residential with a few pockets of commercial and industrial uses.

Hold on to existing patients
Elmira had 423 fewer residents in July 2025 than in April 2020 (−1.6%). With fewer newcomers, patient texting comes first, so existing patients keep coming back.

What Our Clients Say
I’ve had a great experience working with Medi-Edge. They helped design and build our website and have also been handling our SEO and online advertising. I’ve been very satisfied with both the quality of their work and the results so far. Kellen, the owner, has been especially great to work with. He’s been very responsive, helpful, and personally involved whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance. It’s been nice working with a company where the owner is accessible and genuinely cares about making sure you’re happy with the service. Overall, the entire team has been easy to work with and understands the needs of a dental practice. I would definitely recommend Medi-Edge to other dental /medical practices looking for help with their website, SEO, and digital marketing.
As a fairly new business going into our 5th year I can say this company truly walks it like they talk it. There are many companies promising new companies the stars and the moon and as a new business you have to take risks and invest. If your looking stop and sign up with this company, constant communication, monthly updates, and can always reach them whenever you need an update to your website or help with your google business. I'm glad we found this gem and we always keep it real at IMED DTLA so if your a new business this is your sign. Not only are the prices reasonable the work is amazing and efficient!
I’ve had a great experience with media-edge marketing Kellen and his team are very responsive and always get to my requests in a timely manner. They are also kind, flexible and seem to care about my business and success which is important to me as a new small business owner. Looking forward to growing with them!
