Smart Tip

Not sure if you should go to an Urgent Care or Emergency Room? Urgent Care centers are a convenient option for moderate injuries and illnesses if your normal doctor’s office is closed. However, for anything more severe—like major wounds or burns, broken bones, chest pains, pregnancy issues or anything else potentially life threatening, you should always dial 911 or get to an Emergency Room quickly.

Primary Care & Family Medicine

Navigating COVID-19: We're Here for You

At Middlesex Health Primary Care and Middlesex Health Family Medicine, we're here to help you as we navigate the COVID-19 emergency. Our offices are open and providing care to patients, and we are taking extra steps to keep you safe.

When you choose a Middlesex primary care physician, all your care is backed by the expertise of the entire Middlesex Health network—including the knowledge of the world-renowned Mayo Clinic.

Smart Tip

There are many reasons why it’s smart to have a primary care physician, or PCP. For one, your insurance may require it. But more importantly, your relationship with your PCP is a long-term one, so he or she will gain a much better understanding of your health and wellness needs over time.

Obesity can be a struggle every day, especially when lifestyle changes aren't enough to help you lose weight. We stand with you, and our priority is to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

Smart Tip

Our Center for Weight Loss Surgery is certified by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program. So, you can be sure you’ll receive the best care and support before, during and after your surgery—and that can mean better outcomes and a better chance at long-term success.

Baby-Friendly USA Certified

We are proud to be designated as one of seven Baby-Friendly® birthing centers in Connecticut by Baby-Friendly® USA, Inc.

BFUSA is the U.S. authority for implementing the World Health Organization and United Nations Children’s Fund’s Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI). Hospitals achieve accreditation from this body by demonstrating commitment to unparalleled care for breastfeeding moms and their babies.

Baby-Friendly birthing centers support evidence-based bonding and the healthiest development for babies.

Skin-to-skin contact is critical to the development of a lifelong bond between mom and her baby. We allow and encourage babies to “room in” with moms through their hospital stay - your baby will even be bathed and examined in the room with you!
We strongly encourage moms to begin breastfeeding as soon as they and their baby are ready and able. We have internationally board-certified lactation consultants on staff, and all of our nurses are trained to help new moms work through any difficulties they experience. If breastfeeding is not possible, we are also experts in alternative feeding methods. Our first priority is to ensure that you leave our hospital confident that you can provide the very best care for your new baby.
