Where to Go for UConn Health Patient and Visitor Information

Updated

For patient and visitor information, go to uconnhealth.org, not health.uconn.edu. UConn Health has moved its patient and clinical content to the new site, which serves as the central source for patient and clinical information, career and employment opportunities, and resources for vendors and contractors working with UConn Health. The health.uconn.edu page you may have landed on is a welcome page that points visitors to the new address.

Why the two addresses exist

UConn Health operates under two web addresses, and they now serve different purposes:

Address What it is for
uconnhealth.org The central source for patient and clinical information, careers, and vendor/contractor resources
health.uconn.edu A welcome page that directs visitors to the new site

If you arrived at health.uconn.edu while searching for an appointment, a department, billing help, or visiting rules, you are one step away from the right place.

What you will find on uconnhealth.org

The new site is organized around the institution's main areas of work:

  • Patient Care — clinical services and patient-facing information
  • Research — the institution's research programs
  • Academics — medical education and training
  • Health News — news items, with more coverage on UConn Today

UConn Health describes itself as widely recognized for leadership in innovative, patient-centered clinical care, research, medical education, and community engagement.

Practical tasks and where they live

Once you are on uconnhealth.org, these are the sections that match common visitor needs:

  • Billing, costs, and insurance — patient resources for billing, costs, and insurance questions
  • Price transparency — published pricing information
  • Visiting hours and guidelines — rules for visitors
  • Closings and cancellations — updates on schedule changes

If you are looking for a job or you work with UConn Health as a vendor or contractor, the new site is also the place for those resources.

One more thing worth knowing

UConn is Connecticut's largest single source of new physicians, surgeons, and dentists. According to UConn Health, 70% of its medical school graduates are Connecticut physicians or resident physicians, and more than 50% of the state's dentists are UConn alumni. That context helps explain why the Academics section is a major part of the site alongside patient care.

Quick answer

Bookmark uconnhealth.org. Use it for appointments and clinical services, billing and insurance, price transparency, visiting hours, closings, careers, and vendor resources. Treat health.uconn.edu as a signpost, not a destination.
