$1 Million Gift from Big Y Supports Connecticut Children's New Clinical Tower and Expanded Pediatric Services

The new clinical Tower is part of the most ambitious expansion in Connecticut Children’s history, with new buildings, new capacities, and new services across the region—all designed to provide better outcomes for sick kids and provide the medical and mental health care they need close to home. The new state-of-the-art Tower is connected to the existing medical center in Hartford and will include an expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, an Advanced Cellular & Gene Therapy Unit, an Acuity Adaptable Unit, and a Fetal Care Center.
