Who We Are
UConn Health is building a community network to improve health across Connecticut by expanding access to the clinical expertise, education, and innovation of the state’s only public academic medical center.
Community-First Care
UConn Health is committed to preserving and strengthening local community care, sustaining essential services, supporting the workforce, and honoring the legacy.
Clinical Excellence, Education & Research
The network will expand access to UConn Health’s specialty care, clinical expertise, and education and research resources across the state.
Statewide Network
This is a first-of-its-kind health care model for Connecticut that will grow thoughtfully and build a connected system to improve quality and access throughout the state.
Our goal is to meet the state’s growing demand for patient-centered care, close to home and backed by the full strength of a leading academic health system.
Dr. Andrew Agwunobi, Chief Executive Officer, UConn Health Community Network
Waterbury Hospital Is Now Part of UConn Health
Familiar faces. Expanded support. Local care.
Waterbury HEALTH has a strong legacy of care, deep community roots, and a dedicated team that shows up every day for patients. Now, alongside UConn Health, that dedication is supported by the reach of academic medicine: research, teaching, and shared resources that help care teams do what they do best.
“This moment is not simply about a change in ownership. It is about a careful, deliberate process of renewal — restoring stability, rebuilding trust, and laying the foundation for long-term success.”
– Deborah Weymouth, President, UConn Health Waterbury Hospital
