Project Rochester: Community Orientation
The idea and planning for a community orientation for faculty and staff came from the Center for Community Health’s Faculty Group, when they acknowledged that many URMC employees are unfamiliar with the history of Rochester and the multiple ways they can be engaged with the community.
Our Goals
The aims of the Project Rochester series are to:
- Increase awareness of the URMC Community Health mission
- Provide an overview of the history of Rochester and its impact on our community today
- Provide information regarding the current health status of our community, including health disparities
- Learn about the URMC’s community initiatives/resources and ways to become involved
- Inspire participants to commit to one action for community engagement.
