Important Information
9/15/2026: IMPORTANT TRANSITION UPDATE: Rochester RHIO continues to work with HealtheConnections, NYeC, and NYSDOH on transition planning activities. Participants should continue using Rochester RHIO services as they do today. Critical services, including Results Delivery and clinical data access, remain available.
No Action Required for Most Participants
Organizations that have selected Rochester RHIO as their Designated or Additional Health Information Network (HIN) do not need to take any action if they wish to transition to HealtheConnections. Organizations wishing to select a different HIN must submit a HIN election change by October 15, 2026. Organizations that do not make a change by this date will automatically be included in the transition to HealtheConnections.

Medical Director's Corner: Gutchek.com
Hello friends,
Twenty-three years ago, I started writing articles to give updates to my fellow colleagues under the banner “JUST SO YOU KNOW.” As a past president of Unity Hospital medical and dental staff, these articles were hugely popular and have become my tradition ever since. Once I had set up our practice website in late 90s, articles were then posted under gutchek.com and were enjoyed by patients and physicians alike.
Now as a retired Gastroenterologist, I am beginning a new chapter as a blogger. Going forward, gutchek.com will contain pearls of wisdom about gut health and common digestive diseases. Also, gutchek.com will periodically post articles of medical and non-medical interest from other sources as well. I will offer surveys time to time.
Check your gut at gutchek.com!
Sincerely,
Tarun Kothari, MD, FACG, FACP
