University of Rochester Medical Center

URMC is one of the largest facilities for medical treatment and research in Upstate New York and includes a regional Prenatal Center, Trauma Center, Burn Center and the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center, an Epilepsy Center, Liver Transplant Center and Cardiac Transplant Center and also includes a major AIDS Treatment Center and an NIH-designated AIDS Vaccine Evaluation Unit. A large portion of the university's biomedical research is conducted in the Arthur Kornberg Medical Research Building and the Aab Institute of Biomedical Sciences.

URMC occupies a 4,000,000-square-foot (370,000 m²) complex located between Elmwood Avenue, Mount Hope Avenue (NY 15), Genesee Valley Park, and Lattimore Road.

In January 2008 the University of Rochester announced a $500 million strategic plan geared toward expansion in research and patient services. The plan will potentially add 800 new jobs to the university. Part of the expansion will include building a new 6-story, 123-bed addition to the hospital, a building for clinical and translational sciences, and a new ambulatory surgery center to be built on Westfall Road.

Recently, several new programs and centers have been founded at URMC. A cancer stem cell research program has been established at the Wilmot Cancer Center, one of only three such programs in the United States, the others being at Harvard University and Stanford University.[8] Also, a new Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute has been announced, which will be housed in a new 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m²) research and education facility. The program was awarded a $40 million NIH grant, one of the largest in the history of the university.[9] URMC acquired Lakeside Hospital in Brockport and is creating Strong West. It will be an urgent care center with the possibility of having an emergency department system. In addition, a network of new Urgent Care centers branded as UR Medicine Urgent Care have opened in areas surrounding the Rochester, NY area since 2017, with more being added regularly.

URMC comprises the largest portion of the University of Rochester's annual budget. For the 2004-2005 fiscal year, URMC's patient care and hospital resources accounted for 59% of the total university budget at $910 million.[10] URMC also makes up a large portion of the university's $232 million research budget.
