Rep. Delnicki Celebrates Connecticut Hospital Day

HARTFORD- On Monday morning, State Rep. Tom Delnicki (R –South Windsor) participated in Connecticut Hospital Day at the State Capitol, which is an event sponsored by the Connecticut Hospital Association.

Connecticut Hospital Day is a day for hospital staff and administrators to have substantive discussions with legislators about the issues that are critical to hospitals, including proposed hospital cuts and taxes in the state budget as well as regulatory burdens that would negatively affect hospitals. 

“It was a pleasure meeting with various hospital representatives that serve South Windsor through their dedicated health care centers. South Windsor has maintained a great partnership with Eastern Connecticut Health Network, Hartford Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital,” said Rep. Delnicki. “I enjoyed meeting with representatives from these organizations to discuss issues important to them, especially the hospital tax.”

The Connecticut hospital health systems contribute $26.2 billion to the state and local economies.  They employ 100,000 people and invest $1.6 billion in community benefit initiatives each year.
