New Britain toolmaker Stanley Black & Decker is giving $2 million to support Hartford Healthcare’s Center for Education, Simulation and Innovation (CESI).
Hartford Hospital President Stuart Markowitz announced the pledge late last week, saying it would make “a meaningful impact” in the hospital community. Stanley is one of CESI’s corporate partners.
CESI is a regional and national hub for medical training, and the centerpiece of Hartford Hospital’s goal to revamp the medical educational system, Markowitz said.
“We know innovation when we see it,” said Stanley CEO Jim Loree, “and CESI is on the cutting edge of medical education and simulation. Everyone in an area served by Hartford HealthCare will be impacted by this extraordinary training facility and economic driver for our region.”
CESI is just one of the focus areas for The Campaign for Hartford Hospital, which in its lead phase, has generated nearly $64 million in donations.
Other focal points of the campaign include the Hartford HealthCare Bone & Joint Institute at Hartford Hospital, the Brownstone Relocation Project, and the Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute at Hartford Hospital.
