Kyle Kramer and I talking Rural Healthcare, UConn Health & Day Kimball Health with Eric Parker on CT ‘25 today in Rocky Hill. Tune into WFSB on Sunday Morning to watch the segment.

I’m proud to work on this project with the DKH healthcare professionals, UConn management, State Senator Mae Flexer, Governor Ned Lamont and community members in ensuring that Day Kimball continues to serve as a strong and sustainable cornerstone of care in our region.
