The Division Chief will oversee and expand active palliative care services at Strong Memorial Hospital (adult patients with serious illnesses), FF Thompson, and Golisano’s Children’s Hospital and will collaborate with the palliative care program that supports Highland Hospital. The Division Chief will oversee and facilitate all career development and educational efforts.  Palliative care is integrated throughout the clinician training experiences; Division Chief of Palliative Care will oversee education through the palliative care fellowship program, residency programs, and students in Medical School and School of Nursing.  The incoming Chief will also work closely with the leadership of the Palliative Care Research Center to foster interdisciplinary research.  Palliative care faculty are key members of active interdisciplinary research groups in heart failure, nephrology, neurology, geriatrics, hematology oncology, geriatric oncology, pediatrics, and geriatrics. 

Located in Rochester, New York, URMC is one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers. It forms the centerpiece of the University of Rochester’s health research, teaching, and patient care missions. URMC is home to Strong Memorial Hospital, the Eastman Institute for Oral Health, the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, its faculty practice (University of Rochester Medical Faculty Group), and the University of Rochester School of Nursing.  The University of Rochester’s clinical enterprise, UR Medicine, consists of six hospitals ( soon to be seven with the addition of Geneva General Hospital) located throughout the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier regions – Strong Memorial, Highland, F.F. Thompson, Noyes Memorial, Jones Memorial, and St. James hospitals – as well as Golisano Children’s Hospital, James P. Wilmot Cancer Center, Eastman Institute for Oral Health, UR Medicine Home Care, the Highlands at Pittsford and Highlands at Brighton, nine urgent care centers, and an extensive primary care network.

UR Medicine’s flagship facility, the 886-bed Strong Memorial Hospital, is designated by the New York State Department of Health as a Level One regional trauma and burn center. The hospital is midway in the development of a new patient tower. This will be the largest capital investment in the University’s history. This will add over 100 ED beds, 48 observation beds, additional CPEP beds (36) as well as 112 in-patient beds with shell space to expand operating rooms.  It is home to nationally renowned clinical care, including Upstate New York’s only cardiac and liver transplant programs, the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience, Golisano Children’s Hospital, and the Wilmot Cancer Institute, Upstate New York’s premier cancer center providing comprehensive cancer care with expertise in precision medicine, complex cancers, and clinical trials.  With a solid reputation for quality, Strong Memorial Hospital offers some of the top clinical programs in the nation and has earned the National Research Corporation “Consumer Choice Award” all 21 years since the honor’s inception.

The Department of Medicine is proud to be the most prominent academic and clinical department at the University of Rochester Medical Center. The Department includes 13 divisions committed to compassionate clinical care, educational excellence, and innovative research.  The team comprises nearly 500 faculty members, over 200 advanced practice providers, 200 residents and fellows, and 800 staff. They conduct around 125,000 outpatient visits per year and 16,000 inpatient discharges.  The faculty includes basic, clinical, and translational scientists researching a broad spectrum of disorders and diseases.  As the largest department, they are dedicated to supporting the community, coordinating community outreach programs, working with affiliate hospitals to ensure quality care is available to all populations across the region, or creating opportunities for youth from all backgrounds to explore careers in health and medicine.  

The Division of Palliative Care provides leading-edge palliative care.  They combine the most advanced subspecialty expertise with an emphasis on access, quality, and equity.  They offer state-of-the-art services by nationally known physicians with the highest levels of training and the most regional experience. As an academic center, the faculty members lead interdisciplinary quality improvements and research to explore patient and family perspectives and new models of care.
