Mark Clement, President and CEO of Rochester General Health System, announced today the appointment of Rob Mayo, M.D., to the role of Chief Medical Officer for the system.
Dr. Mayo will replace outgoing Chief Medical Officer Richard Gangemi, M.D., when he retires from his long-held position on Dec. 31.
Dr. Mayo, who joined the Rochester General Health System in 2002, has served in a variety of leadership positions, including president of the medical and dental staff of Rochester General Hospital.
In 2004, Dr. Mayo, who resides with his family in Victor, was selected by more than 800 RGH nurses as the health system’s first Physician of the Year.
Since 2009, Dr. Mayo has served as Vice President and Patient Safety Officer for the Institute of Patient Safety and Clinical Excellence. He has held numerous faculty positions at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.
“Dr. Mayo possesses that rare combination of sharp intellect, skill, heart, and humility that not only make him an exceptional physician, but also a highly-respected and admired colleague, leader, educator, and role model,” Clement said in a statement issued today. “The medical direction of our health system couldn’t be in better hands.”
Dr. Mayo earned his medical degree and completed a fellowship at the University of Michigan, and completed his internship and residency at St. Joseph Mercy Health System in Michigan. He is board certified in internal medicine and specializes in nephrology.
Dr. Mayo will continue to practice on a part-time basis as he takes on this new leadership role.
