After a four-year renovation in 2014, Unity is now the only Monroe County hospital to feature all private patient rooms and free parking. Unity offers a broad range of specialty centers, including the Golisano Restorative Neurology & Rehabilitation Center; the Charles J. August Joint Replacement Center and the August Family Birth Place. The hospital is also a New York State-designated Stroke Center.[2]

History

Park Ridge Hospital opened in 1975 on the Park Ridge Health Care Campus, to meet the growing needs of the suburban population in Greece, NY and surrounding areas. The 154-acre campus grew over the years to encompass a wide variety of health care programs. In 1997, Park Ridge Hospital merged with the former St. Mary's Hospital, located in the city of Rochester, to form Unity Health System. The hospital kept its name as Park Ridge Hospital until 2006, when it was then changed to Unity Hospital. Unity Health System then again merged with Rochester General Health System to form Rochester Regional Health in 2014. The hospital keeps its name as Unity Hospital under the Rochester Regional Health network.
