On August 24, 2022, the Connecticut Office of Health Strategy submitted a subsequent request containing additional questions for Day Kimball Healthcare and Covenant Health, Inc., via a second completeness letter. We appreciate their careful review of our Certificate of Need Application and look forward to providing a timely response to these additional questions.
We remain fully confident that our proposed affiliation will positively benefit the residents of Northeast Connecticut, Southern Massachusetts and Western Rhode Island by providing Day Kimball Healthcare with the operational expertise and financial resources needed to preserve and enhance services, protect jobs and invest in new technology.
Day Kimball is a fully integrated health system that is comprised of Day Kimball Hospital, Day Kimball Medical Group and four ambulatory healthcare centers in Connecticut including Danielson, Dayville, Plainfield and Putnam. Day Kimball also operates Day Kimball HomeMakers, Day Kimball HomeCare and Hospice & Palliative Care of Northeastern Connecticut.
Covenant is a not-for-profit Catholic health system that owns and operates 12 skilled nursing and senior living communities and three hospitals spread throughout New England and into Pennsylvania. Much like Covenant Health, which has roots dating back 150 years, Day Kimball was founded in 1894 and has strong ties to the communities it serves. By joining forces with Covenant Health, Day Kimball Healthcare can achieve an economy of scale and operating efficiencies that will make more efficient, effective and financially viable — even during a time of unprecedented change in healthcare industry.
