When your goal is to serve the greater good of your community and region, there will always be challenges. That’s why everything we do, every decision we make comes with compassion and through collaboration.
We are excited and optimistic for the future, and we are excited to hear how many in our region are embracing our partnership with Covenant Health by understanding the facts and dismissing the hearsay.
By joining forces with Covenant Health, Day Kimball Healthcare can achieve an economy of scale and operating efficiencies that will make us more efficient, effective and competitive, and will allow us to preserve and strengthen vital healthcare resources in our local community. This affiliation will provide us the opportunity to make much needed investments in our electronic, physical, and clinical infrastructure.
Like Day Kimball, Covenant Health shares a deep commitment to serving people of all faiths, backgrounds and incomes. Based in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, Covenant Health has earned a reputation for being an innovative, not-for-profit healthcare system. Covenant’s family of organizations include three acute hospitals and 12 skilled nursing and senior living communities throughout New England and in Pennsylvania.
Guided by our shared values and commitment to providing high-quality and compassionate care, the union of Day Kimball and Covenant Health will allow us to expand and elevate our ability to serve the healthcare needs of northeastern Connecticut, now and well into our exciting future.
Today, Day Kimball Healthcare is a leading community hospital and medical group. Day Kimball is a top-ranked hospital and health system in the region, and we are very proud to bring our skills and these recognitions to our partnership with Covenant Health.
We have achieved the highest five-star quality rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Nationally, DKH ranks in the top 13 percent (one of just over 400) of eligible hospitals that have earned this distinction.
Over the last three years, DKH has earned an “A” grade from the Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Safety Grade, a national distinction recognizing DKH’s achievements protecting patients from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections.
None of these facts and accomplishments will be harmed by our new partnership. In fact, they will only improve.
Backed by an experienced senior leadership team and renowned group of healthcare industry and legal expert advisors, we are taking the necessary steps to ensure that our momentum continues. It’s time to soar.
