The University of Rochester Medical Center (a.k.a. URMC or simply the Medical Center for short) is one of the top academic medical centers in the country and the only one in our area. The hospitals, research centers, physicians’ offices, schools and health services attract patients and doctors from all over the world. The Medical Center is made up of many parts, all devoted to the same three goals: Providing highly advanced medical care, discovering cures for the world's most challenging diseases, and educating the doctors, dentists and nurses of tomorrow. This, they state, is the only way to provide "Medicine of the Highest Order."

This 4-million-square-foot complex is situated between Elmwood Avenue, Mount Hope Avenue, Genesee Valley Park, and Lattimore Road. It offers literally every medical service known to man, with the exception of long-term in-patient psychiatric care. (You will want the Rochester Psychiatric Center for that.)

The undergraduate River Campus is nearby within easy walking and biking distance. The proximity of both campuses spurned the construction of UR's College Town, which includes the University of Rochester Official Bookstore, serving both the River Campus and URMC.
