At UConn Health, we value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging as crucial to our mission to enhance the health and well-being of every citizen of the State of Connecticut. Additionally, we affirm the value of an inclusive environment and diversity within our workforce that includes age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability differences, preferred language, and religion.

Collaboration
Because UConn Health is home to the UConn School of Medicine and UConn School of Dental Medicine, patients receive the advantages of the latest innovations and research in health care. UConn physicians and caregivers are leaders in their fields, including emerging areas of personalized medicine, and many have received national and international acclaim.
Research
Since UConn Health’s inception, our faculty have been committed to high-quality research programs as part of the institution’s fabric. The future of medicine starts here.
Through Bioscience Connecticut, the original research building on the UConn Health campus will be renovated to include space for start-up bioscience businesses. In addition, Bioscience Connecticut is bringing about a new collaboration between the state, UConn, UConn Health, Yale University, and the prestigious Jackson Laboratory. The project enables Connecticut to assume a position of global leadership in genomics and personalized medicine by developing new medical treatments tailored to each patient’s unique genetic makeup.
Convenient Community Locations
