He oversees the medical staff office, quality improvement/risk management department, and the medical staff directors of eleven areas of care.
“I am excited about the opportunity to support Day Kimball’s legacy of consistency in providing high-quality, compassionate, patient-centered care, with a focus on patient safety,” Dr. Durtschi said. “Day Kimball is an excellent community hospital with remarkable quality distinctions and a top notch medical staff and leadership team. I look forward to continuing to build on the terrific success of this organization and meeting the healthcare needs of the people of northeastern Connecticut.”
Dr. Durtschi is a graduate of both the School of Medicine and the General Surgery Residency at the University of Washington, and completed his post-doctoral fellowship in Burns and Trauma at the University of Washington’s National Institute of Health. He has been a co-founder, partner, and board member in private medical enterprises including ambulatory surgical centers, multispecialty and single specialty clinical groups and medical office buildings.

BROOKLYN — In 2012, the Northeast District Department Health and its HealthQuest Northeast Connecticut public health coalition launched Follow the Fifty: Models of Heart Health (FTF), a women’s heart health campaign that transformed the lives of program participants and rose to national prominence.
This month they will reconvene former models, coaches, and community partners of the successful initiative for a 10-year anniversary “ReZOOMion,” a virtual online event meant to reconnect and re-inspire those to keep up their healthy lifestyles or take them up once again.
If you were a former model, coach, or community partner of the 2012 Follow the Fifty campaign and would like to join either session of the ReZOOMion from 6 to 8 p.m. March 29 or March 31, send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

“A lot has happened in the past 10 years from personal triumphs and tragedies to a worldwide pandemic and now sadly, war in Ukraine,” said Linda Colangelo, former program manager of the FTF initiative. “These past couple of years have impacted all aspects of health on global, community, and profoundly personal levels. We know that the simple effort of reconnecting people to each other and happier, healthier times will be good for their hearts in so many ways.”
The ReZOOMion will include an FTF trip down memory lane and will connect participants to a current HealthQuest initiative called ConNECTicuTRAILS, a campaign aimed to encourage people to explore over 500 miles of trails throughout The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor. Participants will learn about the new CT Trail Finder website, cttrailfinder.com, an initiative by the UConn Extension Center; the Last Green Valley Spring Outdoors event; other opportunities for physical activity; and will get motivated to move with Monique Wolanin, race director for the Quinebaug Valley Community College Foundation Tackle the Trail event.
HealthQuest partners have several physical activity events planned throughout the year which are open to the public.
