ROCHESTER, NY – Rochester Regional Health proudly announced its outstanding achievements in the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report rankings, solidifying its position as a leader in healthcare excellence.
Rochester General Hospital has once again been named one of the best regional hospitals in New York, placing 13th in the state.
