The affiliations were unanimously approved by the boards of each organization and announced Tuesday.
In addition to UR Medicine’s work with Hornell, N.Y.-based St. James Mercy Hospital, the affiliations will allow the entities to collaborate and strengthen healthcare in the Southern Tier of New York. The regional effort will bring UR Medicine specialists to Wellsville, Dansville and Hornell.
“The changes taking place in America’s healthcare system have significant implications for rural hospitals and the communities they serve,” University of Rochester President Joel Seligman, said in the university’s affiliation announcement. “The regional approach of UR Medicine ensures that these hospitals remain the cornerstone of local healthcare and also an economic anchor for their communities.”
