What is Friends of Strong?
We're a dynamic volunteer organization advancing the mission of Strong Memorial Hospital by:
- Enhancing the health care experience for patients, families and visitors throughout Strong Memorial Hospital and at many of our offsite clinic locations
- Promoting the hospital throughout our community
- Raising money to support patient care programs and initiatives
Get Involved
We invite you to help us support and serve our patients, families and visitors.
There are many ways you can join us in fulfilling our mission—from assisting in our Family Waiting Room, to working with patients directly at one of our offsite clinic locations, or simply attending or helping to organize one of our many fundraising events.
Our volunteers, supporters and employees are wonderful people who truly—and meaningfully—make a difference in patients' lives. We take the opportunity to boast about them whenever we can.
Please peruse our website for more information about our programs, volunteer opportunities or how to donate to Friends of Strong Memorial Hospital.

Since 1975, Friends of Strong has given more than $20 million to departments and programs throughout UR Medicine's Strong Memorial Hospital.
