n Highland Hospital received a $1.5 million donation from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies for a new nutrition research program. Led by physicians Thomas M. Campbell II and Erin Campbell, this significant research venture focuses on plant-based nutrition and is part of Highland’s new Weight Management & Lifestyle

Its clinical programs are a commitment to helping patients live more vibrant, sustainable lifestyles through weight loss, good nutrition and taking care of the whole person. n Highland announced a hospital modernization plan in July 2018 with a goal for nearly all patients to benefit from private rooms. Part of the hospital’s master facility plan, the modernization project would add four levels to the hospital’s southeast wing, elevating the wing from its current three to seven floors total, the same floor count as the hospital’s East and West towers. Following rezoning and certificate of need approvals, the hospital expects to begin construction in spring 2020 and to complete the project in spring 2022. n The University of Rochester/ Highland Hospital department of family medicine celebrated its 50-year anniversary in October 2018.

Highland was also spotlighted as a “Best Regional Hospital,” having achieved “High Performing” ratings in heart failure, hip replacement and knee replacement.
