Rochester Regional Health, located in Rochester, New York, is an integrated health system that was formed in 2014, with the joining of Rochester General and Unity Health systems.

The network includes five hospitals, ElderONE/PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) and home health programs, outpatient laboratories, rehabilitation programs and surgical centers, independent and assisted living centers and skilled nursing facilities. They serve families in communities from the Greater Rochester area across Western New York and the Finger Lakes region.

Rochester Regional Health is the third largest employer in Rochester.[5]

History

In February 2003, Rochester General Health System (then called ViaHealth) and Unity Health System open discussions to merge into one healthcare system, but discussions ended in April 2004, when Rochester General's board of directors voted unanimously to reject the merger. [6] The disagreement was partly due to the differences in ViaHealth wanting to merge its medical and dental staff together, and Unity Health System the opposite. Merger discussions began again in April 2013,[7] in response to incentives built by the Federal Affordable Care Act, but also New York State regulations and increasing pressure for better outcomes and lower costs from business and commercial insurers.[8]

In July 2014, Rochester General Health System and Unity Health System merged. The new system was referred to as "RU system" or "Newco" for a short period of time, until the name Rochester Regional Health System was decided by the newly formed board of directors.[9]

In January 2015, United Memorial Medical Center joined the system.[10] Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic joined the system in April 2015.[11] The hospitals joined due to the difficulty for small-town rural health clinics to be financially viable and to attract and retain adequate medical staff.[11]

In May 2015, the system shortened its name to Rochester Regional Health.[12]
