St. Vincent’s cared for 675 people and set a record at its ninth Medical Mission. The Medical Mission originated at St. Vincent’s in 2015. This year, Medical Missions expanded to six locations in Torrington, Hartford, Willimantic, Norwich, New Britain and Bridgeport, providing thousands with services and resources. The Medical Mission provides the opportunity to bring services to the community at no cost, meeting neighbors where they are.

"There are truly no words to describe what I saw, felt and heard at our Medical Mission on Saturday," said Hartford HealthCare President & CEO Jeff Flaks. "I am particularly grateful to St. Vincent’s for leading and showing the way. We learned a great deal ― and together, we will make the next mission even more impactful."
