"My own family recently switched to UCONN Health after having the opportunity to speak with some staff members at the Little Poland Festival. I was very impressed with the level of care and service they provided. I couldn't heap more praise on Dr. Lesniak and his wonderful staff."

The biggest reward and a source of pride of UConn Health is patients’ satisfaction. UConn Health celebrated its 2-year anniversary of a new hospital tower at its UConn John Dempsey Hospital. Research shows that patients are very satisfied with the medical care they have been provided. This is not surprising given that one of the benefits is the ability to use private rooms with a beautiful view. The rooms are big enough that a relative of a patient staying in the hospital can choose to sleep overnight. Since the opening of the hospital tower , the number of hospital patients has increased by more than 11 percent, (roughly 1,000 patients). Professional care adjusted to the patient's needs, private rooms, the ability to use an interpreter and satisfaction with the stay in the facility, are just some benefits available to patients and their families at UConn Health.
