Affiliation Discussions Between New Milford Hospital and Danbury Hospital

In September 2009, New Milford Hospital and Danbury Hospital announced their decision to begin formal discussion for a potential affiliation between the two hospitals. Both hospitals are committed to working together for the betterment of the community by exploring ways to create an integrated regional health care delivery system focused on providing the highest quality and most cost-effective care. In the current climate of economic uncertainty and reform, hospitals across the country are in conversations just like these to explore possibilities for improving the delivery of healthcare. If successful, affiliating the two organizations will provide a more coordinated and enhanced scope of clinical services for the populations of both service areas, with the goal of improved access and quality. More details of the affiliation will be announced throughout 2010.
