Opportunity

This is a unique and special opportunity lead one of the most respected community organizations in our region. With a deeply trusted brand name and devoted Board of talented and well-respected community leaders, the next president & CEO will be positioned to bring the Foundation to the next level with tremendous opportunity for growth, expansion—and, most importantly, patient impact.

Pluta Cancer Center was established at Genesee Hospital in Rochester, NY, in 1975 by a grant from the Pluta family. The hospital’s very first cancer treatment facility, Pluta Cancer Center, became a valuable resource for comprehensive, multidisciplinary cancer care in the Rochester community. When Genesee Hospital closed in 2001, the Pluta family—under the leadership, determination and heart-felt persistence of Andrew Pluta—worked to keep Pluta Cancer Center open.

In March 2003, Pluta Cancer Center moved into its current location at 125 Red Creek Drive in Henrietta, NY. Pluta became New York’s first independent not-for-profit cancer center, offering the latest in radiation therapy technology, chemotherapy treatment and integrative oncology care.

Pluta merged with Strong Memorial Hospital and the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) in 2012. Since the partnership, patients have been receiving the same compassionate, patient-centered care that Pluta is known for while gaining access to the University’s state-of-the-art research, new technology and clinical research.

Pluta Cancer Center Foundation (PCCF), established in 2012, continues to support the patients of Pluta Cancer Center. Specifically, the Foundation raises funds to:

· Support individual patients facing financial hardship because of their diagnosis.

· Operate the Pluta Integrative Oncology and Wellness Center as well as other supportive programs across the Wilmot Cancer Institute.

· Support front-line caregivers with professional development and employee engagement opportunities.
