University of Rochester Medical Center, Noyes consider affiliation

University of Rochester (N.Y.) Medicine and Dansville, N.Y.-based Noyes Health are discussing a possible affiliation, although officials say they are still months away from making a decision.

The healthcare organizations already have a collaborative agreement under which UR Medicine specialists in areas such as oncology and neurosurgery provide care to Noyes patients. Officials from both systems have been meeting for several weeks to determine whether a closer affiliation would help them tackle the challenges presented by pay cuts and healthcare reform.

"Noyes Health has remarkable strengths including outstanding physicians and clinical staff, a loyal and supportive community, and a reputation for delivering high-quality care," said Amy Pollard, president of Noyes Health.  "But our healthcare system is changing rapidly toward a model that delivers improved health and outcomes while, at the same time producing efficiencies that drive down costs. We believe that affiliating with UR Medicine would help us create a model to achieve both of these goals in our community."

After several months of talks, Noyes and UR Medicine officials will make recommendations to their boards and seek regulatory approval, if they choose to move forward.
