“In this time of rising costs and growing healthcare needs in our communities, your support is more vital than ever. It ensures that no patient is left behind and no caregiver is underprepared. Together, we can address urgent needs, strengthen our workforce, and continue delivering, the exceptional, deeply personal care that defines Highland.“
—Kathy Parrinello, President and CEO of Highland Hospital
Since 1889, Highland Hospital has been at the heart of Rochester’s healthcare delivering high-quality care with an unmatched personal connection. As the region’s leading community hospital, Highland offers nationally recognized programs in orthopaedics, bariatrics, geriatrics, women’s health, and cancer care. Our affiliation with the University of Rochester Medical Center provides access to advanced technologies and resources, while our scale allows us to treat each patient as an individual. At Highland, care is not only excellent—it’s deeply human.
Join us—for community based care, ever better.
As part of a broader effort to modernize Highland—including much-needed upgrades to our ICU and several inpatient floors—we’re moving forward with plans to build our previously designated shell space for a 26-bed surgical short stay unit. This critical project will ease capacity, support same-day and next-day recovery, and free up inpatient beds for more seriously ill patients.
Help improve and build urgently needed ICU and surgical spaces
Our team provides exceptional, family-centered care across every stage of a woman’s life—from nationally recognized maternity services to advanced breast imaging, cancer detection, and prevention. With expertise in the latest diagnostic technologies and a strong partnership with Wilmot Cancer Institute, we ensure seamless compassionate care when it matters most.
Help elevate community-based healthcare for all
Highland Hospital’s Brooks Landing Pharmacy expands access to essential health services—including prescriptions, vaccines, and free home delivery—for residents of Rochester’s 19th Ward. As part of Highland’s broader commitment to community care, the pharmacy advances health equity and enhances support for underserved neighborhoods.
