Rochester General Hospital, also known as Northside Hospital, is a hospital on Portland Avenue.

Rochester General Hospital, now a 500-bed facility, began as a fairly modest four-story building on West Main Street in 1864 with a mission of serving the community's poorest citizens.

The hospital's buildings were replaced in 1909 following a large donation by George Eastman. A branch was opened on Portland Avenue in 1956, and it fully replaced the Main Street facility a decade later.

A new main entrance to the hospital is opening in November of this year and the main lobby will be connected directly to the Portland Garage, making everyting a little less confusing and easier to get around. —SaraChristine
