The University of Connecticut Health Center (UConn Health), located in Farmington, is the state’s academic medical hub combining patient care, research, and education. It includes the John Dempsey Hospital, the Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine, and graduate biomedical programs. Established in the 1960s, it opened to patients in 1975 and has since expanded into a leading centre for clinical excellence and scientific discovery. UConn Health provides comprehensive healthcare, from emergency services to specialised treatments, while training a large share of Connecticut’s physicians and dentists. It also partners with institutions like Jackson Laboratory to advance genomic and biomedical research.
