Rochester General Hospital obtained its charter in 1847 as the Rochester City Hospital. The Hospital opened its doors in 1864 on West Main St. The name was changed to Rochester General in 1911. In the early 1960s, the departments moved to the Northside Division, the current campus of the Hospital. Rochester General has earned a reputation for pioneering medical advances in the fields of radiology, laser surgery, and ophthalmology. The Hospital opened one of the first eye banks in the U.S.

The Hospital is also a leader in education, establishing the nation's first schools in medical records and medical photography, the 12th nursing school, and early programs in medical technology, radiation technology, and dietetics.
