Our Legacy

We didn’t get here by accident. Buoyed by our legacy, we have never taken our position as a leader lightly – which makes us work harder for the communities, the people we serve. Through our affiliation with Yale School of Medicine, we attract the brightest minds in medicine to lead the way, to care, and yes, to cure.

Our Mission

Throughout the decades, Yale New Haven Hospital has embraced a mission that extends far beyond treating illnesses – it is about building healthier lives and stronger communities. As the largest provider of patient care services in the region, we care for more Medicaid-covered and uninsured patients than any other hospital in Connecticut, ensuring access to high-quality, patient- and family-centered care for all.

Commitment to Community

Our commitment to community health is reflected in the programs we sponsor and the partnerships we nurture throughout Greater New Haven. Each year, we invest in initiatives that promote wellness, expand access to care, advance careers in health care, and strengthen neighborhoods. Through our community-focused programs, we provide financial and in-kind contributions, deliver preventive services and create opportunities that improve lives.
