History
The nonprofit 566-bed hospital's roots can be traced to the 1933-built Monroe Community Home and Infirmary, which was a replacement for the 1820s-built Monroe County Almshouse. The Community Home structure "was designed by local architect Sigmund Firestone."Firestone employed Thomas Wilson Boyde Jr., who later became "Rochester's first Black architect." Boyde's "decorative architectural elements added to" Firestone's design.
Some of the 190-year-old facility's attending physicians are "affiliated with the University of Rochester's Strong Memorial Hospital."
