She holds certifications with the National Commission on Certifications of Physician Assistants, and is professionally affiliated with the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) and the NYS Society of Physician Assistants (NYSSPA).
Graduating from Le Moyne College with a Bachelor of Science in biology and also a Master of Science in physician assistant studies, Ireland has worked in Central New York in a busy orthopedics and spine surgery setting..
“I chose to join the Community Memorial network because of the close feel of the hospital and orthopedics group. I look forward to providing collaborative care with a practice that offers a variety of sub-specialties and superior orthopedic care,” she said.
Ireland comes to the CMH family as a new location for the orthopedic practice was just opened. Situated on the hospital campus as the new Center for Specialty Services building, the Center for Orthopedic Services moved in early 2024 to fit the need for expanded patient care space along with a growing team of providers.
