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.

Emergency Care

If you need immediate medical attention for a sudden illness or injury, we have 3 state-of-the-art emergency care locations:

Primary Care & Family Medicine

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.

Weight Loss Surgery

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.

Vascular Surgery

With some of the top vascular surgeons in the Northeast, we’re leading the way in detecting and curing all kinds of vascular conditions, from varicose veins and damaged vessels to potentially life-threatening blockages and aneurysms.

Vascular Surgery

Smart Tip

In September, 2016 we opened a new, state-of-the-art Diagnostic and Interventional Suite at our Middlesex Hospital location where our surgeons can perform the most advanced, delicate vascular procedures.

Pregnancy & Birth Center

At the Pregnancy & Birth Center, we are dedicated to you and your newest family member. We pride ourselves on being both high-tech and high-touch. This means that we have the technology to ensure safe delivery while prioritizing patients, even if this means giving more back rubs than epidurals.

In addition to the most advanced clinical services, we offer a wide range of options to help you personalize the labor and delivery experience, plus educational classes and workshops to help you prepare for your baby's arrival.

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.

Smart Tip
