Hospitals

Rochester, like every other city, has a number of hospitals for recovery from your accident-prone, hard-luck, and generally tragic days.

• Highland Hospital - Located in the South Wedge neighborhood of the city
  

• Lakeside Health System - Located in Brockport
  

• Monroe Community Hospital - Located in the U of R area, No Emergency Services
  

• Newark-Wayne Community Hospital - Located in Newark, Wayne County
  

• Rochester General Hospital - Located in the city, on the border of Irondequoit
  

• Strong Memorial Hospital - Located in the U of R area
  

• Thompson Health - Located in Canandaigua
  

• Unity Hospital - Located in Greece, formerly known as Park Ridge Hospital
  

• University of Rochester Medical Center

These hospitals are in turn served by a number of ambulance companies.

As of 2008, all of Rochester's birthing centers are hospitals.

For those occasions where a hospital would just be overkill, there are the clinics:

• Marion B. Folsom Health Center - Henrietta

Historical footnote: Rochester's health care system was cited as a national model by Bill Clintion in his 1992 campaign: see 1993 GAO Report and NY Times article of August 25, 1992.

In New York State, all hospitals are run as Nonprofit Organizations and therefore benefit from community donations and volunteer work.
