Regional players

Emerging players

Broad incumbents

• Rochester Regional Health Foundation: System-level philanthropy arm of the larger health system the Foundation is affiliated with; comparable as a healthcare philanthropy organization supporting a multi-hospital network, but at much greater scale and geographic reach.

Others

• Massena Hospital Auxiliary: Closely affiliated hospital volunteer support organization that shares a board liaison (its President sits on the Foundation board) and coordinates on fundraising — adjacent rather than competitive, but materially related ecosystem participant.
