Stronger Together: UConn Health and UConn join Community in Advancing Wellness

Our word of the month for April is "Community" and at UConn Health, community isn’t just a word, it’s the foundation of everything we do. Whether it’s the connections between our patients and providers, the collaboration among our teams, or our commitment to serving those beyond our walls, community defines who we are.
