Community health is a central mission of the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), alongside patient care, education, and research.
Our commitment to community health is brought to life through our many community health research, education, and service outreach programs. It is further manifested in our efforts to discover the best possible prevention and treatment protocols, educate the highest caliber of future physicians, and provide critically needed services to the community.
Together, the URMC, CCH and our valued community partners have embraced a new model of community health improvement that gives emphasis to prevention, an approach that is critical to the future health of this community and the nation. Preventing communicable and chronic disease will help our community achieve the triple aim: to improve health, to improve healthcare, and to reduce costs.
