Celebrating our doctors today and every day! 🩺 🎉

Last week, we celebrated our incredible physicians with good food, great company, and a well-deserved break. From hors d'oeuvres and desserts to raffles and gifts, it was our way of saying thank you to the doctors who work tirelessly to advance health, side by side with our teams and our community. 🤝

To all of our RGH physicians: your skill, compassion, and commitment make a difference in the lives of our patients every single day. We're so grateful for you.

Happy Doctors' Day! 🩵

Amanda Coniglio, MD, Cardiologist at our Sands‑Constellation Heart Institute joined a panel of experts on Evan Dawson’s “Connections” this week to talk about the risks that too often go undiscussed - especially for women.

Dr. Coniglio emphasized the importance of:

❤️ Knowing your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar)

🧬 Understanding your family history - and considering genetic testing when appropriate

🤰 Recognizing the unique cardiac risks during pregnancy and postpartum

👀 Paying attention to subtle symptoms that may not feel like a classic heart attack, but still signal something isn’t right

We had a great turnout at today’s Well-being Expo! 🎉

More than 25 wellness vendors joined us in the LeChase Lobby with interactive booths, tips and tools for self-care, free stretches with StretchLab, samples from our Food Service team, giveaways, and a fun Passport challenge with prizes.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, explored the stations, grabbed some swag, and invested a little time in their well-being. And a big shoutout to our Well-being Committee for putting on such an great event!

Setting the Standard for Nurse Education and Nurse Excellence, Right Here in Rochester! ✨

🏆 We’re proud to congratulate our Nurse Residency Program for their recent Accreditation with Distinction from the ANCC - American Nurses Credentialing Center - the highest national recognition for practice transition programs - underscoring our commitment to exceptional mentorship, education, and support for new nurses.

🩺 Also this week, we welcomed nursing students to our Clinical Kick-Offs at RGH, where they connected with recruitment and unit leaders to explore specialties, ask questions, and discover the paths that inspire them as they begin their careers.

For every nursing student, every new graduate, and every step of the journey - we’re here for it. 🩵

A big thank you to the Rochester Americans for stopping by our Twig NICU today to treat our patient care teams to subs as they gear up for their Hometown Heroes Night on Friday, March 27! 🏒 🥪

Welcoming a new era of personalized cancer care at RGH. ✨

We’re excited to announce the launch of our Ethos Adaptive Radiotherapy System, now available to patients.

With this new technology, patients will benefit from treatment tailored exactly to their anatomy on the day of care - offering greater precision, efficiency, and confidence.

With AI‑supported planning and daily CT imaging, this advanced technology helps deliver more targeted radiation doses to specific areas while reducing exposure to healthy tissue. It’s especially impactful for treating abdominal, prostate, breast, and GYN tumors.

For compassionate care with precision and personalization, We’re Here for It.

Team members from around the system gathered this week to celebrate the unveiling of our newly renovated Cath Lab 1 at RGH.

Thank you to all who made this transformation possible. For advanced cardiac care close to home - We're here for it. 🩵

Kudos to our RGH Safety & Security team for their participation in the Rochester Polar Plunge for the first time, raising money to support the Special Olympics. 🩵❄️

We see these team members show up every day to keep our people and patients safe. This weekend, they showed up for our community, too, and proved (again) they will do the hard things for a good cause, even when the hard thing is… freezing.

Thank you to everyone who donated, cheered them on, and helped make this first year a success!

Made possible by generosity, built for our people. 🩵

The Brinkman Perioperative Commons is officially open at Rochester General Hospital, creating a dedicated space for perioperative physicians and advanced practice providers to focus, collaborate, and reset between cases.

This project was made possible entirely through philanthropy. The generosity of our donors reflects a shared belief that supporting our care teams helps elevate the care our patients receive every day.

We are grateful to our Foundation partners, Amy Lucas, the Senior Construction Project Manager, and her team, and to our perioperative teams for their ongoing commitment to our patients and our community. 🌟

Celebrating Two Big Honors in Maternity and Newborn Health! 🍼🩵

Our teams gathered to celebrate our 25-year Baby-Friendly re-certification and recognition from U.S. News as one of the Best Hospitals for Maternity.

Only eight hospitals in the country have reached this Baby-Friendly milestone. Our Women’s Health, SANDS 300, Pediatrics, and Lactation teams made it possible by supporting families through birth, feeding, bonding, and newborn care.

We’re so proud of this achievement and the way our teams support families every day. 🌟
