The latest legislative testimony from the Connecticut Hospital Association.
CHA works collaboratively with lawmakers to advance policies that best support healthcare.
Every year, hospitals across the state provide care and services to millions of patients.
The last few years have taken a heavy toll on frontline healthcare teams who have suffered from stress, trauma, and burnout.
Birthing hospitals across the state are providing postpartum patients with an orange bracelet as a reminder to watch for urgent maternal warning signs and get help quickly if they appear.
An outstanding hospital system is one that not only supports patient well-being but also invests in local communities by partnering with others to improve health outcomes.
