The Yale Center for Infectious Diseases in New Haven unites services previously offered at the system’s Haelen Infectious Disease Center and Nathan Smith Clinic. Services include comprehensive general infectious disease consultations, transplant infectious disease care, and HIV primary care and prevention. The center also houses Yale New Haven’s long COVID program.

The nearly 10,000-square-foot facility features 12 exam rooms, four consultation rooms and several work pods for clinicians, along with a conference room and administrative offices. To increase patient access, the center offers free parking and is located near public transportation lines.

Leaders said they expect to see more than 25,000 infectious disease visits a year at the center. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
