Our commitment to building healthy communities includes welcoming the tiniest members at the birthing facilities in six of our acute care hospitals.

With physicians who are national leaders in their field, our facilities offer outstanding support teams and nurses who hold specialty certifications in areas such as maternal-newborn care, fetal monitoring, childbirth education, telephone triage, and breastfeeding. The Hartford Hospital team also includes new providers studying in the University of Connecticut’s nationally recognized residency program in obstetrics and gynecology.

This helps healthcare professionals recognize and properly assess symptoms.
