Union coalition leaders voice concerns over chain’s scheme to avoid fines for unlawfully closing Windham Hospital’s labor and delivery unit.
We are the presidents of two local healthcare unions and would like to make you aware of what’s been happening inside the walls of our local hospital.
Are you feeling lucky when it comes to your health? Here in Connecticut, it can take more than luck to find local affordable, quality care. Chains like Hartford HealthCare (HHC) have been gambling with your well-being and that needs to change.
HHC has for years been cornering the market in communities all across our state by gobbling up smaller practices and limiting patients to physicians under their umbrella of control.
The community coalition spearheading efforts to restore Windham Hospital's labor and delivery care for the region's mothers and babies expresses hope that this unprecedented enforcement action signals meaningful change.
Read and share their press release.
Love is in the air... or is it? Hartford HealthCare (HHC) claims to love the communities it serves, but it has consistently cut services at many of the facilities it owns and operates.
Over a year ago, HHC executives closed the maternity ward at Windham Community Memorial Hospital (WCMH), sending expectant mothers far away to deliver their babies. Before that it was the Intesive Care Unit (ICU) on the chopping block.
