Rochester Regional Health (RRH) has earned a spot on Becker’s Hospital Review’s prestigious list of the nation’s Top 100 Health Systems with Outstanding Oncology Programs. This accolade highlights the exceptional work of RRH’s Lipson Cancer Institute in advancing patient-centered cancer care through clinical trials and groundbreaking research.
Becker’s Hospital Review, a respected authority in healthcare industry rankings, evaluates hospitals and health systems based on their cancer care services, patient outcomes, and overall excellence. Institutions are selected solely on merit, with no financial involvement, underscoring the high standards of care provided by RRH.
“This recognition of the quality of cancer care being provided by the Lipson Cancer Institute is just one more example of how Rochester Regional Health is distinguishing itself as a leader in healthcare locally and nationally,” said RRH CEO Richard “Chip” Davis, PhD. “Our team’s expertise and dedication ensure our patients and their families receive the highest level of care.”
In addition to the Becker’s accolade, the Lipson Cancer Institute recently received a three-year full accreditation as a Network Cancer Program from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. This distinction makes Rochester General and Unity Hospitals the only upstate New York cancer network to achieve such recognition.
Dr. Prad Phatak, Executive Medical Director of Oncology at RRH, emphasized the significance of the accreditation, stating, “This honor underscores the work of our multidisciplinary oncology teams who tirelessly provide gold-standard cancer care for our patients, recognizing that treatment extends beyond the physical to include mental and emotional health.”
These recognitions further position Rochester Regional Health and the Lipson Cancer Institute as leaders in oncology, setting a high standard for care in the region and beyond.
