Our Mission

Our Mission

The mission of Yale-New Haven Hospital is to provide sensitive, high-quality, cost-effective health care services to all patients, regardless of ability to pay; to be the primary teaching hospital for Yale School of Medicine and offer training opportunities for nurses and allied health care professionals; to provide the setting for ongoing clinical research that helps bring medical advances from the laboratory to the patient's bedside; and to serve the community as a public health advocate and provide support and services which respond to the area's health care needs through health education, health promotion and access to care.

In carrying out this mission, we are dedicated to excellence in:
