Welcome and thank you for considering Rochester Regional Health as a potential partner for your organization.

Rochester Regional is committed to supporting the community by sponsoring activities, programs and services that benefit the residents of the region. Working together with our community partners, including local health departments and other hospitals, we are focused on disease prevention, promoting access to quality healthcare services, and improving the overall quality of life for our communities.

We would like to assist organizations in our service area by supporting their efforts to care for the people that they serve in a multitude of areas, including health, education, arts, and social justice. Areas of focus for Rochester Regional Health in 2023 are cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, and women’s health, and applications related to those areas will be given greater consideration.
