↑ 7%SUNY Geneseo welcomes Brett Walsh as new CCMO. July 22, 2026 Brett Walsh (Image provided) Brett Walsh has been appointed as SUNY Geneseo's chief communications and marketing officer (CCMO), effective August 13. Walsh brings more than 17 years of progressive leadership experience in communications and marketing at the regional, state, and national levels. Most recently, Walsh served as the director of communications and public relations for Rochester Regional Health in Rochester, NY. As director, he led executive, change and crisis communications, public relations, and supported a brand re-launch for an expansive regional healthcare system during a time of dramatic change. Prior to leading Rochester Regional Health's communications team, Walsh served as an emergency management specialist and external affairs officer for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), acting as a spokesperson and executive communications advisor, leading press briefings, shaping leadership communications, and managing congressional and intergovernmental affairs during multiple federally declared disasters in New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. This critical national service followed nearly 10 years of public service with Monroe County in the executive and legislative branches during which he directed communications, legislative strategy, policy development, and public messaging on wide-ranging community priorities and government operations. Throughout the search process, Walsh distinguished himself as a thoughtful and strategic communicator with a strong commitment to building relationships and engaging diverse audiences. During his campus visit, he connected meaningfully with campus constituents and shared a compelling vision for strengthening Geneseo's communication and marketing efforts in support of its institutional priorities. "I am confident Brett can help drive a reimagined communications strategy for New York's Public Honors College," says SUNY Geneseo President Melinda Treadwell. "Geneseo is an exceptional, distinctive institution, and our future depends upon sharp messaging and elevation of our visibility with new audiences. Brett's approach is disarming and authentic, and I believe our future is even brighter with his instinct and energy driving our marketing and communications strategy forward." "What drew me to Geneseo is its belief that excellence and opportunity belong together," Walsh says. "As New York's Public Honors College, Geneseo demonstrates that academic rigor and broad opportunity can go hand in hand. I'm honored to join this remarkable community and look forward to helping more people discover what makes Geneseo such a special place." Walsh holds a bachelor's in communication from Roberts Wesleyan University, a master's in strategic communications from Regent University, and is completing an MBA at Eastern University. Walsh is also an instructor with the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. Wendi Kinney Chief of Staff

RRH is also creating a $12 million outpatient imaging center in the Unity Professional Office Building. "This investment is about building the future of care for our community," said Richard 'Chip' Davis, RRH CEO. "By expanding cancer services and expanding comprehensive imaging capabilities at Unity, we are strengthening our ability to deliver coordinated, patient-centered care closer to home." The expansion of the Lipson Cancer Institute will double infusion capacity from 10 to 20 bays and introduce a dedicated oncology pharmacy. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The new outpatient imaging facility will provide a full suite of diagnostic imaging services, including MRI, CT, DEXA, X-ray, mammography and ultrasound. Construction will begin on April 27.
RRH announces leadership changes. Rochester Regional Health has announced that Leslie Wong MD has been named chief clinical officer and executive vice president, effective April 1, while also announcing the retirement of Robert Mayo MD, chief medical officer and executive vice president, effective March 31, following more than two decades of service. Mayo joined Rochester Regional Health in 2002 and was appointed chief medical officer in 2013. During his tenure, he played a central role in shaping clinical leadership, advancing quality and patient safety initiatives, and strengthening the system's physician enterprise. "Dr. Mayo's leadership has left an indelible mark on Rochester Regional Health," said Richard 'Chip' Davis, RRH CEO. "For more than 20 years, he has been a champion for our patients, our physicians, and our community. His calm, thoughtful guidance - especially during the COVID-19 pandemic - helped steer our organization through one of the most challenging times in modern health care." Mayo and his wife, Karin, will relocate to Stockholm, Sweden, where they will lead a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve alongside such dedicated and compassionate colleagues at Rochester Regional Health," Mayo said. "I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together, particularly how our teams came together to care for our community during its most challenging moments." As part of a planned leadership transition, Wong steps into an expanded role overseeing clinical operations across the system's provider enterprise, including graduate medical education and its clinically integrated network. A nationally recognized nephrologist, Wong brings extensive experience in clinical excellence, value-based care and physician leadership. Since joining Rochester Regional Health in 2024 as executive medical director for the Medicine Service Line, he has helped advance systemwide clinical integration and strategic initiatives. "Dr. Wong is a highly respected leader with a deep understanding of our system and a strong commitment to clinical excellence," Davis said. "We are confident in his ability to build on Dr. Mayo's legacy and lead our clinical teams into the future."
Rochester Regional Health chief Medical Officer Dr. Robert Mayo retiring after 13 years. Jennifer Lewke News10NBC Updated: 3 hours ago Published: March 30, 2026 - 1:45 PM New top doctor coming to Rochester Regional Health. ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Rochester Regional Health will soon have a new top doctor. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Robert Mayo is retiring. News10NBC Investigative Reporter Jennifer Lewke has interviewed Dr. Mayo dozens of times over the last decade about issues that impact the entire health care system, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic. The first time most people heard the name Dr. Robert Mayo, Whec 10 were heading into an unprecedented global pandemic. Dr. Mayo was a calm and steady voice, week after week, providing updated information on an ever-changing situation alongside his counterpart at UR Medicine. He says the pandemic showed that even competitors can and should team up when it's in the best interest of the community. "There was a great deal of help, people stepped forward and it was really heartwarming, I felt very supported and I was grateful that we could accomplish what was needed for the community at that time," Mayo said. The years that have followed haven't been easy. News10NBC has reported extensively that all of its hospitals are at or over capacity most days and the ERs are overcrowded. "Some of those challenges still exist today and we are continuing to work on them through our community partnerships with our long-term care facilities, with those that are owned with RRH and we're constantly trying to find ways to improve efficiency and care delivery," Mayo said. Some of those new ways include a lot more technology in health care compared to when Dr. Mayo first took the helm 13 years ago. "The community will see more and more aspects of AI and robotic type care in the future," Mayo said. As for his future, well, Dr. Mayo will still be serving others in retirement. "My wife and I think of Rochester as our home, we will be temporarily relocating for three years while we serve in a missionary capacity so we're looking forward to changing our focus for a time and then returning to Rochester," Mayo said. As chief medical officer at Rochester Regional Health, Dr. Mayo oversaw not just the clinical care at Rochester General, but at RRH's eight other local hospitals and health care centers. Dr. Leslie Wong will take over for Dr. Mayo starting Tuesday. He was recruited to Rochester by Dr. Mayo a few years ago. He's a nationally recognized nephrologist.
Rochester hospital system rolls out peer counseling program for staff. ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Rochester Regional Health has launched a new peer support program across its health system to help employees cope with workplace stress. Dr. Brian Watkins is a general surgeon at Rochester Regional Health. He saves lives every day in the operating room, but he's lost patients too and that can take an emotional toll. "When you think about physicians and surgeons, in particular, you think of a stoic person, a gritty person because to get to that point you kind of have to have that and there's not a lot of emotional training in your training," Dr. Watkins explains. It was something that always bothered him, "we've normalized this toxic stress in medicine for a long time, it just wasn't a topic people talked about," Dr. Watkins says. That's what led him to create a peer support group among his fellow surgeons. The confidential program allows colleagues to talk through difficult experiences with someone who understands. "It's coffee, it's a phone call, it's meeting for a bite, it's very, very informal and just that human interaction with someone who has been in your shoes to help you navigate some of things you might be going through," Dr. Watkins says. The program has been so successful, it's being expanded system wide. Thirty peers with different job titles were recently trained to help others - doctors are paired with doctors, nurses with nurses, social workers, food service workers - anyone who might need or want the help. The program is called PIER, which stands for Partners in Emotional and Recovery. Levi Gangi, coordinator of RRH Behavioral Health, says co-workers can relate in ways that loved ones sometimes can't. "If you go home and talk to your loved ones, they might be sympathetic, but they don't work in the setting, but your coworkers can relate to what you're talking about," Gangi tells News10NBC. So far, the PIER team has worked with many employees who don't necessarily ask for help but are willing to accept it when someone reaches out. Gangi said peer responders can proactively contact employees after learning about difficult events. "Even if somebody doesn't reach in and say "hey, I need support," we would be able to hear about an event that happened and have one of our peer responders reach out to them directly and then they could say, "yeah I'd like to talk confidentially about what happened thanks for calling me and talk to somebody who can relate,"" Gangi explains. The program aims to help employees, but leaders believe it will ultimately benefit patients too. "In order for us to be at our best, we have to be well," Dr. Watkins says.
