Our Facilities

 

Adult Emergency Department

EDIn March 2001, Strong Memorial Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center opened its new Emergency Department with a design that has served as an international model for other emergency departments. There are 120 patient beds with dedicated care areas depending on acuity level, presenting complaint, and procedures.


Critical Care Bay

EDOur Critical Care Bay includes 7 large treatment bays dedicated to the care of critically ill medical and trauma patients. The facility is commensurate with Strong Memorial Hospital’s status as the Regional Trauma Center and the only ACS Certified Level 1 Trauma Center in the region. Each bay is stocked with all major equipment and has space for teams necessary for major medical or trauma resuscitations, including 2 bays with overhead radiology capability. All trauma, MI, and stroke alerts are seen in our Critical Care Bay.


Strong West

Fellows will perform clinical shifts in Emergency Medicine at the Strong West Emergency Room, a freestanding Emergency Department 20 miles West of Rochester (approximately 30 minute drive). Fellows will also be provided with the opportunity to work at other regional affiliate sites on a case-by-case basis.
