Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford announced Friday it establishing a new partnership with Springfield’s Shriners Hospital for Children that will allow both providers to combine clinical and financial resources.
The partnership would expand both’s pediatric subspecialty services to children in New England and upstate New York, officials said.
“Our goal for proposing a mutually beneficial long-term partnership with Connecticut Children’s is to increase operational efficiencies, grow our core orthopaedic volume and expand subsurgical specialty services offered at Shriners Hospitals in Springfield, while preserving our mission and strengthening our identity,” said Charles R. Walczak, Shriners Hospital administrator.
Shriners Hospital’s planning committee has already approved the partnership.
