If you are concerned that you or a loved one has symptoms of COVID-19, the first step is to contact your primary care provider. // MORE INFORMATION
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

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.

Pregnancy & Birth Center
COVID-19 Information for Expectant Families
We are taking extra steps to ensure the health and safety of mom, baby and the entire family. This includes restricting visitors, moving classes online, and allowing laboring moms to enter through the main hospital doors at night. // LEARN MORE
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.
Comprehensive Cancer Centers
At the Middlesex Health Cancer Center, we believe that fighting cancer means never giving up. Our award-winning team of clinical oncologists, surgeons, and other healthcare providers use today's most advanced technology to deliver compassionate, comprehensive cancer care.
For complex cases and treatments, our partnership with the world-renowned Mayo Clinic allows our doctors and patients to access the nation's top cancer specialists close to home.
Our cancer center is also dedicated to treating the whole person, their body, mind, and spirit. Whether you need the support of a social worker, nutritional counseling, or acupuncture to help manage treatment side effects, the Middlesex Health Cancer Center team can meet your unique needs.
