The B. Thomas Golisano Pavilion and Emergency Center is an example of Rochester Regional's ongoing mission to provide the highest quality patient care and to best serve the Rochester community. Opened in October 2009, the Emergency Department was built from the ground up to take full advantage of the latest innovations in emergency and cardiothoracic medicine, this 88,000+ square-foot facility nearly doubles the space devoted to these areas. While significantly larger, this impressive space is also designed to bring patients, medical personnel, and vital resources closer together - proximity that will both enhance and streamline patient care and safety.
