Amy Pollard, RN, BSN, MPS has dedicated her life and career to helping those in need. It takes a special kind of individual to be a nurse, and Ms. Pollard has taken her duty to a very high level, holding a variety of clinical and leadership positions throughout her nursing and administrative career.
In 2007, Ms. Pollard joined Nicholas H. Noyes Memorial Hospital as Vice President of Patient Services, overseeing nursing and support services. In 2011, at a financially challenging time for the hospital, she was promoted to President/CEO. Empowered by a visionary board, an excellent management team and a loyal staff, Ms. Pollard’s fearless leadership oversaw the successful turnaround of Noyes Hospital.
Working with the board and administration, Ms. Pollard has been a driving force in the process of identifying a partner for Noyes, as it develops into an integrated health care system. She guided the hospital through its affiliation with the University of Rochester, helping it become a leader in medical care. Her management has fostered a positive environment, with Noyes and UR Medicine continuing to fulfill its goal of having patients receive care in their community whenever possible.
Among the highlights of Ms. Pollard’s tenure is the construction of a new, expanded emergency department that opened in 2014. The facility is three times larger than the former space, affords comfort and privacy for patients, and is equipped with cutting-edge technology. In January 2016, the Ann and Carl Myers Cancer Center opened its doors to provide comprehensive medical and radiation oncology services to patients in Livingston and surrounding counties.
