Mission Statement
Middlesex Hospital exists to provide the safest, highest quality health care, and the best experience possible for our community.
About This Cause
Middlesex Hospital (MH) is the only acute-care hospital located in its large geographic service area with a population of over 265,000. MH has expanded to offer a multi-site network of cutting edge in-patient and out-patient services including three emergency department sites which see the third highest volume of all CT hospitals, a Cancer Center, home care services, assisted living, family medicine residency program, and a family medicine practice group, among others. Significant achievements include: • Connecticut's first and only hospital to earn the Magnet Award® for nursing excellence – three times in a row. Only 28 other hospitals in the USA have earned this award three consecutive times – less than 1% of all hospitals in the country. • Highest scoring hospital in Connecticut in the Consumer Reports hospital safety rankings in both years it has been done. • The first community-based health system in the country to receive full accreditation for its disease management programs from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). MH has a long-standing commitment to providing programs/services that meet identified need, particularly for underserved and vulnerable populations. Examples include: • Access to Care: access programs seek to reduce demographically driven disparities in health care and are often provided at a financial loss. MH offers financial assistance to qualified patients (up to 500% of the poverty rate). • Community Health Initiatives: includes health education; community-based clinical services such as health screenings and immunizations; support groups; social services for vulnerable populations; numerous free and subsidized services for children including no cost prenatal care and countless others. • Good Neighbor Activities: in-kind support and staff participation in community collaborations and partnerships designed to improve community health.
