When someone is brought to us in the aftermath of violence, healing must begin long before the first stitch or scan.

Through our Hospital Violence Intervention Program, we meet patients with more than clinical care...we meet them with humanity. Our teams create a safe, compassionate space where patients feel seen, heard, and supported during one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

This program brings trauma clinicians, social workers, behavioral health experts, spiritual care providers, and community partners together, all working as one. Not just to treat wounds, but to offer stability, connection, and dignity.

Violence may bring them through our doors, but compassion shapes what happens next.

Hartford Hospital was named a Top Teaching Hospital for a fifth year in a row by The Leapfrog Group, a national watchdog organization for health care safety and quality! Thank you, colleagues, for making this possible!

Only 73 hospitals in the country received the Top Teaching award this year. This award is widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive awards American hospitals can receive.

To qualify for the distinction, hospitals must rank top among peers on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which assesses hospital performance on the highest standards for quality and patient safety, and achieve top performance in their category.

Happy Thanksgiving!

11/26/2025

This Thanksgiving, our healthcare heroes want to remind everyone that there’s so much to give thanks for.

Family. Friends. A safe ride home.

Before the celebration begins, make your plan:
1️⃣ Arrange a rideshare or taxi.
2️⃣ Choose a sober designated driver.
3️⃣ Stay the night if you’ve been drinking.

Because one impaired choice can change lives forever.
Let’s say Not One More to impaired driving.

CT Trauma Centers stand together to keep our roads safe this holiday. 🚗🩵

Today is National Injury Prevention Day. Hartford Hospital, along with many other landmarks and institutions across the nation, recogizes this day by lighting up green — the official color symbolizing injury prevention.

This is just one way the Hartford Hospital trauma team supports awareness of gun violence prevention, fall safety and motor vehicle crash prevention - with a special focus on impaired driving.

According to NHTSA, more than 13,000 people are killed in drunk-driving crashes annually. Nearly one person is killed in the U.S. every 39 minutes in a drunk-driving crash. Prevent tragedy: use a rideshare program, designate a sober driver, or stay overnight before driving.
