Dear Dr. Andy

Will UConn Health consider adding an MRI machine to the freestanding UConn Health Imaging facility at 5 Munson Road? I know MRI machines are very expensive, but adding a machine that is considered “outpatient” by insurance companies may help avoid the lost revenue of having to refer this imaging out of UConn Health. 

There certainly is much validity to this suggestion, and we can take a strategic look at how to proceed with the required certificate of need process.

Did You Get Your Sticker Today?

Gail Sheehan, who greets patients and visitors in the University Tower lobby, started what she’s calling “The Sticker Sensation”! 

“I purchased stickers for patients, visitors, colleagues and guests with the hope of offering kindness, support, compassion, and encouragement for their day. It has been a great success!”

Gail (not pictured because she took the photo) has one for you — go see her and share a smile!
