Dear Colleagues,

I'd like to start this week with some updates from our locations beyond our main campus in Farmington.

First, Monday we celebrated the grand opening of our new Torrington location. Last week I mentioned how we had a soft opening in April, when we moved some of our services to the larger, renovated space at 507 E. Main St. Now, in addition to internal medicine, we have rotating specialties and services including blood draw and laboratory services, comprehensive spine care and total joint, imaging and radiology, internal medicine, orthopedics and sports medicine, and vascular surgery, with OB-GYN, cardiology, and pulmonary soon to join them.

This investment reflects our long-term commitment to this region. It's about responding to the needs of the Torrington community, improving convenience and continuity of care, and helping ensure faster diagnoses and better health outcomes. We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing to grow with and serve the greater Torrington area for many years to come. 

I'd like to thank the many individuals and teams who had a hand in making this move a success, including ambulatory operations, under the leadership of Anne Horbatuck, our COO of UMG and AVP for ambulatory operations, as well as facilities, information technology, regulatory and compliance, finance, supply chain, pharmacy, telecommunications, marketing and communications, and numerous clinical and administrative departments. I'd also like to thank our multimedia services team for this fascinating one-minute video tour of the new space:
