Giving

You Can Make an Impact on the Health of Your Community.

UConn Health is an academic medical center, which means we provide excellent medical care, train the next generation of physicians, and drive innovation through cutting-edge research.

Did you know? Most of the greatest advances in patient care and most important treatments of the past century all began in academic medicine.

When you give to UConn Health, you support a dedicated team of researchers, educators, staff, and clinicians, all working together to improve health outcomes.
