Monroe Community Hospital [1] [2] is a chronic-care center in Rochester [3] that is operated by Monroe County. [4] They also have a Skilled Nursing Facility [5]
The nonprofit [4] 566-bed [6] hospital's roots can be traced to the 1933-built Monroe Community Home and Infirmary, [7] which was a replacement for the 1820s-built Monroe County Almshouse. [8] The Community Home structure "was designed by local architect Sigmund Firestone." [7] Firestone employed Thomas Wilson Boyde Jr. (1905-1981), [9] [10] who later became [11] "Rochester's first Black architect." Boyde's "decorative architectural elements added to" Firestone's design. [12]
Some of the 190-year-old facility's [13] attending physicians are "affiliated with the University of Rochester's Strong Memorial Hospital." [4]
In 2017 a local newspaper headlined "Two lawsuits in a month against Monroe Community Hospital." [14] They had publicly fired their director in 2013. [15] [16]
The architects portrayed include Thomas W. Boyde Jr.
