Hartford HealthCare's fourth annual system-wide Medical Mission was an extraordinary day of service, compassion and community impact, providing free care and support to 3,632 people across Connecticut.
Adapted from a program launched at St. Vincent's Medical Center in 2015, before joining Hartford HealthCare, Medical Mission creates a welcoming environment where people of all ages can access healthcare services, connect with specialists in behavioral health and physical therapy, receive food and clothing, and access critical community resources, all at no cost and without the need for insurance.
This year, Hartford HealthCare expanded the program by adding Manchester Memorial Hospital in Manchester, enabling even more individuals and families to receive quality care and support close to home.
In all, 3,632 people of all ages were provided access to care.
Community Impact across all locations:
There were 3,078 colleague volunteers from Hartford HealthCare who participated in the Medical Mission, offering free services including:
Community organizations also participated throughout the day, helping connect participants with additional services and resources to support their health and well-being following the event.
Medical Mission continues to demonstrate Hartford HealthCare's commitment to expanding access to care and meeting people where they are, ensuring thousands of Connecticut residents receive the support, services and connections they need to live healthier lives.
