“It has been an honor and privilege to have had several opportunities to serve our community hospital, and to grow and enhance its mission and 125-year legacy of providing high-quality health care to northeast Connecticut,” said Joseph Adiletta.
“Day Kimball continues to search for a strategic partnership that shares our vision to continue our growth and evolution in providing quality care.
