UConn Health is a healthcare system and hospital, and branch of the University of Connecticut that oversees clinical care, advanced biomedical research, and academic education in medicine.

Andrew Agwunobi stepped down as the CEO of UConn Health in February 2022 after serving since 2014 for a private-sector job.

[3] UConn Health has about 5,000 employees,[4] and is closely linked with the University of Connecticut's main campus in Storrs through several cross-campus academic projects.

The hospital is an acute care facility [5] that operates the only full service emergency department in the Farmington Valley.

[7][8] In the last year with available data, UConn Health had 8,653 admissions, 29,727 patients emergency room visits, and its surgeons performed 2,379 inpatient and 7,550 outpatient surgeries.

Through Bioscience Connecticut, a new ambulatory care center began construction in 2012 on the UConn Health campus, part of a $840 million state initiative.

University Dentists, the group practice based on the Health Center's Farmington campus, provides preventive, corrective and restorative care for patients of all ages.

In addition, the student and resident run dental services provide an affordable safety net for patients with little or no insurance.

[18] Through various residency and fellowship programs, the School of Medicine provides postgraduate training to over 700 MD and DO physicians each year.

Most notably, medical and dental students share an essentially common curriculum during the first two years of their four-year degree programs.

It is designed to produce a cadre of well qualified health care professionals committed to serving Connecticut's urban underserved populations.

A total of 50 to 52 Urban Health Scholars, eight to ten students per school, are selected each year from among qualified applicants who have a demonstrated commitment to service.

It has a formal 2 year curriculum which is delivered through quarterly Learning Retreats hosted in communities that UST serves.

[32] These four hour retreats bring Urban Health Scholars from the five disciplines together for focused training sessions that examine the competencies through the lenses of vulnerable populations.

UConn Health shares an academic partnership with the Jackson Laboratory, known as JAX Genomic Medicine since 2014.
