Former Highland Hospital board Chairman Robert McCann M.D. has been honored with the Highland Hospital Foundation’s 2019 Heritage Award.

The Heritage Award is the highest honor given by the foundation for philanthropic contributions. It honors an organization or individual that plays a significant role at the hospital and in the Rochester community through their time, talent and financial support.

“Bob McCann embodies everything that makes Highland Hospital so special and valuable to our community,” foundation Chairman Ned Nicosia said in a statement. “He has been Highland’s biggest cheerleader and supporter, extremely generous with his time, talent and financial support. We are so pleased to give Dr. McCann the highest honor given by the Highland Hospital Foundation.”

McCann, a longtime member of the Highland Hospital board, has played an integral role in Rochester’s health care community for more than three decades and has received a number of accolades for his contributions. He is regarded as a national and international expert in geriatric and end-of-life care and has served as chief of medicine at Highland Hospital for nearly 20 years.

McCann also serves as CEO of Accountable Health Partners.

“I have a profound commitment to Highland—our people, programs, patients and their families,” McCann said. “It’s important for all of us to collaborate and contribute our time and financial resources in support of this vibrant community hospital.”

Past recipients of the Heritage Award include David Sischy, Linda Maxion, Thomas and Betty Richards and more. This year’s award was presented at a ceremony Dec. 4 at the Genesee Valley Club.
