About the Cornerstone Society
Cor·ner·stone / n – the chief foundation on which something is constructed or developed; something that is essential, indispensable, or necessary
As the first stone placed in a masonry foundation, the cornerstone is the most important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus defining the position of the entire structure. Similarly, for an organization like Rochester Regional Health, our most loyal donors are the foundation, or cornerstone, of our annual giving program and, thus, the basis for our overall fundraising efforts. It is because of this that we now recognize these dedicated individuals and businesses through membership in the Cornerstone Society, the leadership annual giving society for Rochester Regional Health.
Through gift commitments of $1,000 or more each year for three consecutive years, Cornerstone members lay the foundation of support that is needed to fund ongoing programs and operations across all five of our hospitals: Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic, Newark-Wayne Community Hospital, Rochester General Hospital, United Memorial Medical Center and Unity Health. This critical support has a profound impact on the lives of all those we serve by helping shape the future of healthcare in our region.

Community Impact
Rochester Regional Health has a bold plan for transforming healthcare. It is a vision that extends beyond the traditional hospital setting to help people maintain good health and live healthier, happier lives.
