System Executive Medical Director, Neurosciences Lead the Brain Trust. Shape the Region. This is not maintenance. It’s legacy. Rochester Regional Health seeks a bold, emotionally intelligent physician leader to serve as our next  System Executive Medical Director of Neurosciences . You won’t walk into chaos.
