About The Building

new ortho buildingThe new UR Medicine Center for Orthopaedics and Physical Performance will combine clinical care, research, education, and community wellness under one roof to create an orthopaedics center unlike any other in the Northeast. With our strengths in education, research, and care, we are well-poised to lead this effort.

We can help patients restore AND enhance function: whether they are recovering from injury or managing a chronic disease, or want to improve their fitness and maximize their physical performance.
