CANANDAIGUA – UR Medicine Thompson Health recently named Karen M. Parker of Honeoye Falls its new clinical nurse educator.

Heather Rickett is the new director of the F.F. Thompson Foundation, Inc., the fundraising arm of the nonprofit UR Medicine Thompson Health.

Now, Thompson can treat DVT with the ClotTriever^® System. This system involves an FDA-cleared mechanical thrombectomy device specifically designed to core and collect a clot from the vein wall in a single session, without the need for thrombolytics and a subsequent ICU stay. 

F.F. Thompson Hospital was recently named as one of America’s Best Hospitals for Minimally Invasive Surgery by the Women’s Choice Award®.

For many years, Thompson has been among the local organizations to partner with Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES’ New Vision programs for high school seniors interested in health care.

The students are a familiar sight on campus, shadowing Thompson professionals to augment on-site classroom learning. Said one, “It has allowed me to define that this is what I’m meant to do.”
