Windham United to Save Our Healthcare advocates for reopening the local hospital's birthing center, closed by Hartford HealthCare in 2020.
In Windham, Connecticut, a coalition, Windham United to Save Our Healthcare, is advocating to reopen the local hospital's birthing center, closed since 2020 by Hartford HealthCare due to low demand and costs. This closure has adversely affected the community, particularly Black and brown families, contributing to population decline. The Office of Health Strategy will conduct a study to assess the need for a birthing center; if viable, the hospital must reopen or find an alternative provider.
