Connecticut Children’s is leading a five year, multi-partner, cross-sector effort designed to improve the lives of children in North Hartford under a new $30 million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

Connecticut Children’s and Nuvance Health recently combined forces to make it easier for parents to get the care they need for their children in western Connecticut and New York’s Hudson Valley.

Connecticut Children’s, the state’s only dedicated pediatric health system, today announced a first of its kind partnership with Women’s Health Connecticut, the state’s largest collaborative network of ObGyn providers, based in Avon. Together the two organizations have opened a Women’s After-Hours Care & Pediatric Urgent Care at Connecticut Children’s Farmington Campus at 599 Farmington Avenue, Farmington. The innovative partnership with Women’s Health Connecticut is the first step in a new strategy to reimagine family-centered care by offering one location for women and children to receive health care in a coordinated, seamless and welcoming space.

Connecticut Children’s is proud to announce that its orthopedic division is the state’s TOP ranked pediatric orthopedics program in the 2021-2022 U.S. News & World Report’s Best Children’s Hospital rankings released today. At Connecticut Children’s, our team of orthopedic specialists achieved the state’s highest ranking thanks to excellent outcomes and exceptional patient care. In addition, the orthopedics team cares for patients at five walk-in and same day clinics across the state, including our newest clinics in Danbury & Shelton and another location coming soon in Westport, making it easier than ever for children and young adults to get the care they need, when they need it.

Connecticut Children’s and Hartford HealthCare are working together to make vaccines conveniently available to everyone 12 to 15 years old. Adolescents in that age-group are now eligible for the vaccine, following approval from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Connecticut Department of Public Health.
