History
In February 2003, Rochester General Health System (then called ViaHealth) and Unity Health System opened merger discussions, but the discussions ended in April 2004, when Rochester General's board of directors voted unanimously to reject the merger. The disagreement was partly due to the differences in ViaHealth wanting to merge its medical and dental staff, and Unity Health System the opposite. Merger discussions began again in April 2013, in response to incentives built by the Federal Affordable Care Act, but also New York State regulations and increasing pressure for better outcomes and lower costs from business and commercial insurers.
In July 2014, Rochester General Health System and Unity Health System merged. The new system was referred to as "RU system" or "Newco" for a short time until the new board of directors selected the name Rochester Regional Health System.
In January 2015, United Memorial Medical Center joined the system. Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic joined the system in April 2015. The hospitals joined due to the difficulty for small-town rural health clinics to be financially viable and to attract and retain adequate medical staff.
In May 2015, the system shortened its name to Rochester Regional Health.
