n For the third time, Rochester General Hospital received in 2018 accreditation from the Surgical Review Corporation as a center of excellence in minimally invasive gynecology (COEMIG). The hospital has consistently demonstrated that its surgeons provide exceptional minimally invasive gynecologic surgical care, focus on safety and best possible outcomes, track against national benchmarks, and offer procedures that lead to faster recovery time and less complications. “Earning the COEMIG designation for the third time shows that the Rochester Regional Health women’s surgery team continues our commitment to providing the safest, high-quality and consistent care to our communities and throughout Western and Central New York,” said Rochester Regional Health gynecologic surgeon Marc S. Greenstein. n Rochester Regional Health was named one of healthcare’s most wired hospitals in the nation for 2018, according to the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME). The distinction is based on the system’s ability to adopt, implement and apply new technology to improve healthcare outcomes. The list of 254 health systems from around the world included 21 based in New York state. Rochester Regional Health is the only system based in Western New York to make the list. “We are pleased that Rochester Regional Health was selected as one of Healthcare’s Most Wired organizations, and we look forward to keeping pace with healthcare technology to ensure that we remain at the forefront of patient care,” said John Glynn, chief information officer for

Rochester Regional Health. n Rochester Regional Health in 2018 was the first in Western New York to be certified in Hidden Scar breast cancer surgery — a new option that will help women that need breast cancer surgery hide scars by minimizing their incisions. The procedure involves removing cancerous tissue through a single incision, in a discreet location such as under the breast or through the armpit, resulting in a hidden scar. Previously, mastectomies and lumpectomies would leave prominent scarring — a constant visual reminder of the cancer and surgery. With Hidden Scar surgeries, surgeons at the Rochester Regional Health Breast Center are using new advanced photonics devices to illuminate the path to the tumor. The surgery preserves the natural appearance of the breast, so patients will experience little difference in the size and shape of their breasts once healed from surgery. n Early in 2018, RRH celebrated its new Henrietta Medical Campus, a multi-specialty facility located at 50 Middle Road. The campus provides residents with easy access to: primary care physicians and holistic medicine for families; orthopedic care, including sports medicine, general injuries and fractures, arthritis, chronic conditions, pain management and joint, hip or knee replacement; Imaging services, including X-ray, ultrasound; and, mammography, 3-D mammography and 3-D automated breast ultrasound; and Lab services in a large, comfortable space, with an additional area dedicated to pediatric patients
