Hartford HealthCare

An exciting day at Hartford HealthCare St. Vincent Medical Center today! We launched our new Inpatient Rehabilitation bed, expanding access to specialized inpatient rehabilitation services that regularly exceed national averages for patient outcomes. We treat the most complex patients in our community and get them home! This is a testament to the incredible work done by the inpatient rehab team whose dedication to patient care knows no bounds. #TheBestAtGettingBetter Hartford HealthCare Rehabilitation Network

Last month, Food4Health colleagues delivered 25 pounds of freshly harvested jalape?o peppers for use in the Hartford Hospital cafeteria. ??? The rooftop at Food4Health farm, built by Levo International, was approved by the Department of Health to share the harvest with the cafeteria for retail and patient trays. The jalape?os were used to make barbacoa beef burritos, a fire-roasted green jalape?o and corn salsa, and chili! ??

This significant recognition reaffirms that the safest care in the nation is right here in Connecticut – a point of pride for all of us.?Thank you to all the clinicians and caregivers who are making Connecticut a destination for world-class healthcare!
