F.F. Thompson Hospital

Canandaigua, NY

F.F. Thompson Hospital is a 113-bed community hospital serving the Finger Lakes region of New York. Founded in 1904, it has grown to include 14 primary care practices, four OB/GYN offices, three urgent cares, two lab draw stations, two outpatient pharmacies, three off-site rehabilitation services locations and an off-site breast imaging center. In 2025, the hospital welcomed 35 physicians and advanced practice providers with no headhunter placement fees, and reduced travel and agency nursing staff to just two hospitalwide, generating substantial cost savings. The hospital recently launched a multimillion-dollar campus improvement plan and installed a GE SIGNA Artist wide-bore 1.5T MRI scanner featuring feet-first imaging to reduce claustrophobia. The hospital is also expanding its birthing center from 10 to 12 labor and delivery rooms. In November 2025, the hospital earned its fifth consecutive Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, and is the only organization in New York to hold the “Excellence in Spiritual Care Award” from the HealthCare Chaplaincy Network. The hospital holds Joint Commission certificates of distinction for hip replacement, knee replacement, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, advanced perinatal care and advanced primary stroke center, and the Surgical Review Corporation designates it a center of excellence for hernia surgery, robotic surgery and minimally invasive surgery.
