Community Partnerships are Important to the Success of The Rochester Aging Study

Two prominent Rochester health systems, Unity Health Systems and Via Health, complement the University of Rochester’s contribution to health care. Both of these systems have strongly endorsed The Rochester Aging Study. Study participants will be equally recruited from Strong Health, Unity Health and Via Health medical clinics.

In addition, the three major underwriters of health insurance in the community (Aetna, Excellus Blue Cross, and Preferred Care) have all expressed their support for The Rochester Aging Study.

The Rochester Aging Study's community partners include: (from L to R) Dr. James Haley (Unity Health), Dr. Richard Gangemi (Via Health), Dr. William Hall (Highland Hospital / URMC), and Dr. Howard Federoff (University of Rochester Medical Center).
