ROME, N.Y. — Rome Memorial Hospital announced it has rebranded as Rome Health.
The organization says the new name is meant to “more accurately reflect the breadth of services provided by the health-care system to enhance the health and well-being of the local community,” Mark Murphy, president and CEO, said in a release.
The new name also “ushers in a new era” for Rome Health as the system prepares to welcome many new primary-care providers and physician specialists, including two new general surgeons and a cardiologist; introduce new service lines, such as bariatric surgery; and break ground on a new physician center on the hospital’s main campus in August.

“…We’ve become a comprehensive health-care system that connects people to the best clinicians and the latest technologies so they are easily accessible to our community,” Murphy said. “We’re more than a hospital. From primary care to long-term care, we deliver the care people need here in Rome, including the latest advancements in spinal surgery and hereditary risk screening.”
Murphy went on to say that Rome Health has also forged relationships with “highly-ranked experts,” such as St. Joseph’s Health’s cardiologists, to coordinate patient care.
The new Rome Health name will begin to appear “over time” at its many off-site physician practices and outpatient centers. They include primary care offices, such as Rome Medical Group; Boonville Family Care; Camden Family Care; and Delta Medical. They also include specialty-care locations such as Rome Medical Practice neurology; pulmonology and sleep medicine; surgical services; orthopedics and sports medicine; general surgery; and All About Women obstetrics/gynecology.
Its outpatient services — such as community recovery center; prenatal care; Regional Center for Wound Care, and Chestnut Commons therapy, lab, and x-ray — will also operate under the new name, Rome Health said.
