UConn Health Expansion: Acquiring Solnit Childrens Center, Boosting Federal Discounts, and Expanding Care Affordability

UConn Health is set to expand its services by taking over Albert J. Solnit Childrens Center South in Middletown, transforming it into a satellite site by April 15th. This move will help UConn Health reclaim federal 340B drug discounts worth up to $60 million by increasing its low-income patient count with Medicaid kids from Solnit, who face severe mental health issues ages 13 to 17. The deal was approved by the state Department of Children and Families and will shift 50 inpatient beds to John Dempsey Hospital in Farmington. The expansion comes after UConn Healths recent acquisition of Waterbury Hospital and a pledged $250 million in upgrades over five years, aiming to keep care affordable for Connecticut families.
