Farmington, Conn.-based UConn Health has shared plans to integrate Middletown, Conn.-based Solnit Hospital, a children and adolescent psychiatric facility, into a satellite location of its UConn John Dempsey Hospital in Farmington.
“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to delivering exceptional, high-quality, and specialized care for Connecticut’s youth while optimizing resources across agencies,” UConn Health CEO, Andrew Agwunobi, MD, said in an April 2 statement shared with Becker’s.
Solnit Hospital is a state-administered psychiatric facility for children ages 13 to 17. It offers care to children and adolescents with “severe mental illness and related behavioral and emotional problems who cannot be safely assessed or treated in a less restrictive setting,” according to the state’s website.
UConn Health is eager to bring its clinical expertise, academic resources and patient care approach to Solnit, Dr. Agwunobi said.
