Why Quality and Safety Matter
At Rochester Regional Health we know that we play an essential role in caring for our community and are dedicated to doing that in the safest possible way, with the best possible outcomes. Having a true focus on quality and safety matters because it’s a reflection of the trust that our patients and their families put in us.
