About Finger Lakes Guild of the Catholic Medical Association

Since its incorporation in autumn 2012, the Finger Lakes Guild of the Catholic Medical Association has established itself as a vital community for healthcare professionals in Rochester, NY who seek to live their Catholic faith while serving patients with dignity and compassion. This dedicated group of physicians, nurses, bioethicists, and other healthcare professionals shares a common commitment to upholding the inherent dignity of human life and providing care grounded in traditional medical ethics informed by Catholic teaching. The Guild brings together like-minded healthcare workers across the Finger Lakes region, creating a supportive community where members can grow in their understanding of Catholic moral principles, deepen their faith, and strengthen one another in their professional calling. Beyond individual fellowship, the organization actively advocates for life-affirming healthcare policies and works to ensure that vulnerable patients receive compassionate alternatives to harmful practices. The Guild's leadership includes experienced physicians and healthcare leaders who guide the organization's efforts to communicate Catholic medical ethics to the broader medical profession and society. By fostering deeper mutual understanding among Catholic healthcare providers and supporting the region's Catholic hospitals and health institutions, the Guild strengthens the witness of faith-based medicine in Rochester and throughout New York State. Members find in the Finger Lakes Guild not just a professional association, but a community of practice rooted in shared values of faith, ethics, and commitment to healing.
