Yale New Haven Hospital “Leading Hospital” in Early COVID Care

In March 2022, Connecticut marked the two-year mark of the start of the pandemic. Healthgrades analyzed patient volume and mortality rates from CMS data between January to September 2020, and recently identified the 24 leading hospitals in early COVID care in the United States. Yale New Haven Hospital made the list. We deeply appreciate the tireless efforts of so many to provide the best care for our patients. Each one of you has made a positive impact—thank you.

Sincerely,

Gary V. Désir, MD Paul B. Beeson Professor of Medicine Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity Chair, Internal Medicine, Yale School of Medicine Chief, Internal Medicine, Yale New Haven Hospital
