Nearly 100 years ago, some of the most progressive minds in Rochester and in the nation\u2014Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ President Rush Rhees, and George Eastman\u2014came together to change the course of medicine. With philanthropic gifts from Eastman, the Rockefeller Foundation, Gertrude Strong Achilles, and Helen Strong Carter, their vision to establish a medical center that would combine scientific inquiry, learning, and patient care was realized.<\/p>\n
Today, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Medicine is the preeminent medical provider in Western New York and the region\u2019s only healthcare system powered by an academic research center. A cornerstone of the system, Strong Memorial Hospital (Strong), has long served an important function as the safety net hospital for the most vulnerable citizens in our local community, helping anyone who comes through our doors. It is also where state-of-the-art treatments and the newest breakthroughs in medicine are provided first. Because of novel treatments and highly specialized care\u2014particularly in cancer, complex cardiology, comprehensive neurology and neurosurgery, and organ transplants\u2014Strong is becoming a national referral center, caring not only for people in Western New York, but increasingly for those across Upstate New York and the country.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1006″ img_size=”full” mkd_css_animation=””][vc_column_text]January 1926:<\/strong> Strong Memorial Hospital opens to patients as a 250-bed teaching hospital.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1016″ img_size=”full” mkd_css_animation=””][vc_column_text]February 1975:<\/strong> The new Strong Memorial Hospital opens as 380 patients are transferred from the 50-year-old hospital to the new facility, many of them children.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2316″ img_size=”full” mkd_css_animation=””][vc_column_text]June 1996:<\/strong> A seven-story Ambulatory Center, built next to Strong Memorial Hospital\u2019s entrance, included a new outpatient center, lobby, and 1,250-space parking garage.
