Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic in Ontario County has joined Rochester Regional Health System, effective April 1. They've been talking about that merger since last summer.
It's another in a series of hospital mergers that have been happening locally and across the country. Clifton Springs is now the fifth hospital in the health system, which was formed when Rochester General and Unity Health System combined in July of last year.
With the new affiliation, Clifton Springs CEO Dr. Lewis Zulick will become chief of surgery for Newark-Wayne Community Hospital and Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic.
