Williams presented the Hospital with its first ambulance. Competition developed between Rochester's four hospitals for patients. Within the first seven months, there were 433 ambulance calls, 48% of which were "hurry" calls.

Although half the city's residents lived north of Main Street, and suburban growth had expanded to the lakeshore, no hospital existed in that area. The Civic Committee and the Rochester Hospital Fund directors believed the need for a hospital on the north side of the city far outweighed the need to expand Rochester General at its downtown site.

One physician, one surgeon, a resident physician, a superintendent and his wife, a cook and a laundress staffed it.

In May of 1864, Saint Mary's and the City hospital were alerted that 300 casualties were on their way. Three hundred seventy-five patients arrived by train on June 7, sixty of whom were destined for City Hospital. These were the first of 448 soldier patients that the Hospital would receive over the next twelve months. Many of these patients came from Grant's bloody Virginia Campaign to capture Richmond.
