UConn President Susan Herbst<\/a> and Dr. Frank Torti<\/a>, UConn Health executive vice president for health affairs and medical school dean, led a celebration of UConn Health\u2019s medical, dental, and urgent care services at Storrs Center<\/a> Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been one of my goals for many years to plant the UConn Health flag in Storrs Center, near the University community,\u201d Herbst said.<\/p>\n

The UConn Health Storrs Center Medical and Dental Offices at 1 Royce Circle, Mansfield, consist of more than 20,000 square feet and have nearly 40 employees. The building opened in December<\/a>, with the first services offered including primary care, occupational medicine, cardiology, orthopedics and sports medicine, general surgery, plastic surgery, x-ray, and a blood draw station. UConn Health Urgent Care opened in March<\/a>. Dental offices are scheduled to open in mid-July, with dermatology and psychiatry to follow later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud to say that we have assembled a team of world-class experts and highly accomplished physicians and providers for the greater Storrs community,\u201d said Torti.<\/p>\n

Mansfield Mayor Betsy Paterson noted that although Mansfield is a small town, thanks to the University it has sports, arts, culture, and now, more options for health care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UConn Health offices are helping to meet the health care needs of eastern Connecticut,\u201d added State Rep. Gregg Haddad (D-Mansfield).<\/p>\n
